    Quick Answer

    A Savings Pod deposits a fixed insignificant amount on the schedule you choose — daily or weekly. Daily builds the habit faster and keeps each deposit smaller. Weekly is easier to align with pay cycles and produces fewer, slightly larger movements. Both are automatic, both can be changed, and both use the same fixed amount for your region.

    Choose daily if…

    You want the habit to become invisible quickly, your income arrives irregularly, or you want each deposit to be as small as possible. Daily deposits create far more repetitions, which is what drives automaticity.

    Choose weekly if…

    Your money arrives weekly or fortnightly, you prefer to see fewer line items on your statement, or your account balance moves a lot day to day and you would rather batch the deposit.

    What stays the same

    Either way, the amount is fixed for your region, the deposits run automatically like a subscription, and progress against your goal is tracked in the app. You are not choosing a different product, only a rhythm.

    Switching later

    You can change a Pod's frequency at any time without losing progress or resetting the goal.

    Fees and withdrawals

    There are no subscriptions and no upfront fees. Withdraw whenever you like; a 3% platform fee applies on withdrawals, capped at $20 maximum.

    Key Takeaways

    • Daily = more repetitions, smaller deposits, faster habit.
    • Weekly = fewer movements, easier to match a pay cycle.
    • Same fixed regional amount either way.
    • 3% withdrawal fee, capped at $20 maximum; quit any time.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does daily cost more overall?

    It moves more often, so more accumulates over a given period — the per-deposit amount is smaller.

    Can different Pods use different schedules?

    Yes. Each Pod has its own schedule and goal.
