Who it suits
- Kuwaiti residents who bank in dinars and want pots they can top up any time
- Savers who would rather pay no monthly fee than chase a bonus
- People who want a pot they can lock until a savings goal is reached
Who should look elsewhere
- Savers after a fixed-rate deal, since the rate here is variable
- Anyone holding money in currencies other than the dinar, as the pot is KWD only
- Readers who need a term product, since this is an easy-access account with no set term

Frequently asked questions
What rate does Weyay Bank pay on savings?+
It pays a variable rate of 0.5% to 1% on on-demand saving pots. Because the rate is variable rather than fixed, the figure can change, so check the current rate in the app before you commit a large balance.
Is there a monthly fee on a Weyay Bank account?+
No. Fees run KWD 0 on the account, so nothing is taken each month. The brand is listed as a no-monthly-fee provider, which makes it a simple option for a pot you leave open.
Do I need to put money in to start?+
No minimum applies: the minimum deposit is KWD 0. You can open a pot and top it up later from the app, which suits saving in small steps rather than one lump sum.
Can I lock money away until a goal is reached?+
Yes, but the lock is optional. Pots are on demand by default, and you can add a lock so the balance stays put until the goal is reached instead of being spent early.
Which currency can I hold in a saving pot?+
Pots are in KWD only, so the balance is held in dinars. That makes the account straightforward for Kuwaiti savers, but it rules out holding a pot in another currency within the same account.
How do I get help with my account?+
Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can reach the bank by email, chat, phone or the help centre. The account sits with National Bank of Kuwait S.A.K.P., a Kuwait-based entity regulated by the Central Bank of Kuwait.
Is this an easy-access account or a fixed-term one?+
It is an easy access account rather than a fixed-term deposit, so money is available on demand through the app. The variable rate applies without a set term running, which suits savers who want access rather than a locked deposit.
