You will get one (1) Tonik Account once you have completed your registration.
If you are able to successfully upload your valid government-issued ID during registration, you may open up to five (5) Stashes (Solo or Group Stash) and up to five (5) Time Deposits.
If you skipped the ID upload process during registration, you may still open up to two (2) Solo Stashes to your Tonik Account. Apart from this, your Tonik Account will have 12 months validity and a combined balance limit of P50,000 (for your Tonik Account and Solo stashes).
To remove the validity period and combined balance limit, you can upgrade your account by simply uploading your ID using the Tonik App.
Upgrading your account is very easy. You only need to upload one (1) of the accepted government-issued IDs and confirm the details of your ID. Please note that the actual upgrading process will be done during the next day after the request has been made.
You can receive money, send money, save in Stashes or invest in Time Deposits. Using your virtual Mastercard, you may also pay for online purchases.
You may find your Tonik Account number in the Account Information section or in the Transaction History section of your Tonik App.
Tonik does not charge any fee for owning or maintaining an account.

Yes. Deposits are insured by PDIC for up to P500,000 per depositor. This means that your combined balance in all your accounts (Tonik Account, Stashes, and Time Deposits) is insured up to P500,000.
You can view your transaction history for your Tonik Savings Account as far as the last 3 months, hun. If you need to view older transactions, you may refer to your Statement of Account.
You can click on the 'copy' icon beside your account number in the Account Information section of your Tonik App.
Take the same steps to copy the bank name and account holder information.
The "Total Aggregate Credit" of an account refers to the total fund crediting (such as cash-in/deposit or fund transfer/movement) to an account. An account that has not fulfilled the documentary requirement, by regulation, is subject to a total aggregate credit limit of P100,000 annually. When you hit the total aggregate credit limit of your Tonik Account, you will be unable to top-up or receive money from other people and banks, and unstash (withdraw) your Stash.
Because you have reached the total aggregate limit of your Tonik account, you'll be unable to top-up or receive money from other Tonik users and banks, and unstash (withdraw) your stash. To lift these conditions, you must upload any of the government-issued IDs that Tonik accepts. Once the upgrade is successful, you will no longer have any balance or total aggregate credit limit. Even better, your account will also no longer have any validity period and you can open Time Deposits and more Stashes!
Your Tonik Account will be unable to receive money from any source (other banks, Tonik customers, and your Stashes when you unstash them) until you have uploaded an accepted government-issued ID. If you do not wish to upgrade your account or plan to have any of the accepted IDs so that the limit is removed, you may opt to close your Tonik Account.
We hope you can apply for one of the government IDs that are accepted. If you don't, by regulation, we will ask you to empty your balance and close your account.
A Time Deposit Rollover Certificate will be generated and sent to your registered email.
You may create a Stash or a Time Deposit using your Tonik App - anytime, anywhere.
A Stash is a savings pocket where you can add funds anytime, earn high interest and withdraw anytime you need it, without any lock-in period.
Keep in mind that the interest rate in a Stash is a floating interest. This means if Tonik changes the Stash interest rate, all your Stashes will always follow the latest Stash interest rate.
A Time Deposit is an investment where you commit a specific investment amount to be locked-in over a period of time in return of a guaranteed interest rate. If Tonik changes the Time Deposit interest rate, the new interest rate will only apply to new Time Deposit created after the new rate is effective. Your old Time Deposit will always follow the rate at the time it was created.
A Stash is a high-yield savings account. A Time Deposit is an investment account. If you open a Time Deposit, you agree to keep the money for a certain time period to get a higher return.
A Stash is a saving pocket in your Tonik Account where you can separate your certain amounts in your savings according to specific saving purposes you have in mind, be it for an exciting holiday getaway, a new gadget, a new ride, your kid’s education, a birthday gift for your better half and many more.
You can also invite others to participate in saving within your Group Stash. The best part of a Stash is that you have the flexibility to withdraw it anytime, without any lock-in period while earning a high interest.
You can view the latest Stash interest rate here: https://tonikbank.com/deposit-interest-rates/
It’s extremely easy. Login to your Tonik App and tap onto the Stash tile which can be seen on your Home Dashboard. Select Solo if you are saving by yourself, or Group if you want to invite your friends to save with you.

You can already start to invite people to participate when you open a Group Stash. Otherwise, you may also invite them later on from the Group Stash Manage menu.
The Total Stash Balance of a Group Stash (including interest earned) belongs to its creator and owner, luv, so it's gotta be someone you trust!
That means the Group Stash owner is the only one who can close the Stash or withdraw from it any time. Plus, any disbursements of funds will go to the Group Stash owner's Tonik Account.
You can tap on the Stash you want to withdraw from, go to Manage, then click Withdraw. Money will be moved from your Stash to your Tonik Account.
Feel free to withdraw anytime without penalty
On the app dashboard, tap the Stash tile, pick the Stash you want to close, hit "Manage," then click "Close." If you're a hundred percent sure you want to close the Stash, choose "Yes, close the stash."
For Solo Stashes, your Total Stash Balance (including interest earned) will go to your Tonik Account in a single transaction.
For Group Stashes, the Total Stash Balance (including interest earned) will go to the Group Stash Owner's Tonik Account in a single transaction.
Always remember that the group's Total Stash Balance belongs to the owner of the Group Stash. They're the only ones who have control over the fund and can close or withdraw from it at any time.
You can own up to 5 Stashes, combination of Solo and Group Stashes.
There is no limit to how many Group Stashes you can participate in as a contributor.
You can view your transaction history for your Stashes as far as the last 3 months, hun. If you need to view older transactions, you may refer to your Statement of Account.
You may experience this because you have reached the total aggregate credit limit of PHP100,000 for your Tonik Account and therefore your Tonik Account cannot receive any money unstashed from your Stash. Please upgrade your accounts to get the limit removed.
Your Stash interest is credited to your Stash directly. You can check the interest crediting history in your Stash transaction history.
It's easy, luv! Simply invite at least 2 members to your Group Stash and then, you'll enjoy the Group Stash interest once all 3 of you have contributed at least P1 each to the Group Stash.
Tap onto your Group Stash in the Stash list, go to Manage Savers and you will see who are your members and how much they have contributed so far.
Hi there, luv! Since funds transferred to a Group Stash will belong to the owner of the Group Stash, members will now have an additional layer of verification before they transfer that fund away. XOXO
A Time Deposit is a form of savings/investment in which you pledge a certain amount of money for a fixed period of time in exchange for high interest.
You can view here the latest Time Deposit interest rates.
Download the Tonik App now!
Deposits are insured by PDIC up to P500,000 per depositor.
Simple. Login to your Tonik App and tap onto the Time Deposit tile on your Home Dashboard. Input your investment amount, desired investment period and done!
Also, make sure you have sufficient balance in your Tonik Account, because the investment in your Time Deposit will use the available fund in your Tonik Account.
We have 5 term options for you to select from for your time deposit: 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24 months.
The minimum Time Deposit investment you can make is P5,000.
The maximum limit is P100,000 per Time Deposit account. You may open up to 5 Time Deposit accounts in your Tonik App.
You may access your money on the day your Time Deposit is set to mature. Check this page for our available term options.
Yes, you can. You may do an early withdrawal for your Time Deposit. However, if you do so, you will deflect from your original investment goal. As much as possible, we recommend that you stick to your set goals.
If you withdraw early within 5 days (known as the cooling off period) of Time Deposit opening, you can get a full refund of your Time Deposit (no Documentary Stamp Tax and no interest)
If you withdraw early but after the cooling off period, you will earn your Tonik Account interest instead of the higher Time Deposit interest - and you will be charged for Documentary Stamp Tax.
“Early withdrawal” or “Pre-termination” is when you withdraw your Time Deposit before the maturity date.
You will earn Tonik Account interest from the date you open your Time Deposit until your early withdrawal date, but you will be charged for Documentary Stamp Tax. Please keep in mind that you may receive less than your original investment amount (You’ll certainly get less than what you could have got if you wait until maturity)
Interest will be based on the number of days your money is stored in that Time Deposit. Withholding tax will be applied to this interest.
What you receive = investment amount + interest (based on Tonik Account interest) – withholding tax – Documentary Stamp Tax.
For Time Deposit less than 1 year, DST = original term in days / 365 * 1.5 / 200 * investment amount (366 for a leap year)
For Time Deposit 1 year or longer, DST = 1.5 / 200 * investment amount
No. You will be charged Documentary Stamp Tax when you withdraw early after the cooling off period.
You will get your investment amount and the interest as indicated in your application and Time Deposit Confirmation. Withholding tax will be applied to this interest.
You don’t need to. Your Time Deposit will close automatically when your Time Deposit reaches maturity.
Yes, absolutely! Tonik is supervised by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and your money is insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) for up to a maximum of P500,000 per depositor. This means that all your money with Tonik (in your Tonik Account, your Stashes and your Time Deposit) is safe and sound.
You will receive it within 24 hours from your Time Deposit creation.
You will receive it within 24 hours of your Time Deposit maturity.
You will receive it within 24 hours of your Time Deposit early withdrawal.
You will receive it within 24 hours of your Time Deposit rollover.
When you roll over your Time Deposit (TD), you're extending the term your money is placed in that TD account. The term you initially chose will be the same term your TD will follow once it has rolled over.
For example, if you initially chose a 6 months Time Deposit and decided to rollover, you will have a new term of 6 months, and will continue to renew every 6 months until you deactivate the time deposit roll over button.
The rate that you will get for the new term of your Time Deposit (TD) will depend on the rate that is in effect on the rollover date.
For example, if Tonik still offers the 6% interest rate for TDs, then your existing TD that's earning 6% interest rate will continue earning the same interest rate. But if the new interest rate becomes 4%, then your TD rollover will earn the new 4% interest rate. You can learn more about this in our website.
For now, Tonik only allows rolling over the investment amount of your Time Deposit (TD). The interest earned will be transferred automatically to your Tonik Account on the rollover date.
The investment amount cannot be changed, luv. If you want to change the investment amount, you can open a new Time Deposit instead.
The length of the rollover will be the same as the original Time Deposit (TD).
If you have opened a 6 months TD, if you activate Roll Over, your TD will be extended for another 6 months. Similarly, if you have opened a 18 months TD, if you activate Rollover, your TD will be extended for another 18 months.
Open Time Deposit (TD) on your Tonik App dashboard and select the TD you want to roll over from your existing list of TDs. Toggle the “Roll over time deposit” button to the right found under the details of your Time Deposit.
After toggling the button, you’ll see a pop-up message that explains how the rollover works. You must tap the “I accept the Terms and Conditions” which will enable the Roll over this time deposit button. Make sure to read the Terms and Conditions, luv! Press to see the full T&Cs so you know the implications of rolling over your TD.
If the "Time Deposit roll over" button is not purple, your Time Deposit will not be rolled over.
If you have activated the "Time Deposit roll over" button to purple, open Time Deposit (TD) on your Tonik App dashboard and select the TD you want to roll over from your existing list of TDs. Toggle the “Roll over time deposit” button to the left found under the details of your Time Deposit.
After toggling the button, you’ll see a pop-up message that explains what will happen if you stop rolling over.
You can change the rollover setting anytime from the time you open your Time Deposit (TD) until 3 days before the maturity of the said TD.
The rate that you will get for the new term of your Time Deposit (TD) will depend on the rate that is in effect on the rollover date.
For example, if Tonik still offers the 6% interest rate for 6 months TD on your rollover date, then your existing 6 months TD that's earning 6% interest rate will continue earning the same interest rate. But if the interest rate that is in effect on your rollover date will be at 4%, then your TD rollover will earn the new 4% interest rate. You can learn more about this in our website.
If you have activated the "Roll over time deposit" button, the interest rate that you will get for the new term will be the interest rate that is in effect on your rollover date. Keep in mind that your rollover date is the maturity date of your Time Deposit's existing term.
You can't change the Time Deposit rollover button because either you have passed the change deadline, or your Time Deposit (TD) investment amount exceeds the balance allowed in a TD account.
There's no limit, luv. Once the "Roll over time deposit" button is activated (the button is purple in color), your Time Deposit will be rolled over until you deactivate it (the button is grey in color).
Cooling period for roll over follows the same rule as a newly opened Time Deposit (TD): 5 days cooling period.
For example, if a TD is opened or rolled over on November 1, the cooling period will last until November 6. TD Early withdrawal during the cooling period will give you back your initial investment amount without any charge.
Once your Time Deposit matures, the money will automatically transfer to your Tonik Account. But if you choose to withdraw before the maturity date, simply go to you Time Deposit account and click the button "withdraw early". Please take note of the fees when closing your Time Deposit before the maturity date.
Yes, luv. Simply go to your Time Deposit account and click the button "withdraw early". Please take note of the fees when closing your Time Deposit before the maturity date.
If you want to withdraw your Time Deposit before the maturity date, you simply need to go to your Time Deposit account and click "withdraw early". If you wait until your Time Deposit matures, the money will be automatically moved to your Tonik Account.
Hey, luv! We recently updated our Time Deposit terms. Starting April 2024, we are limiting the creation of the 6-month time deposit to one (1) per customer.
No worries, you can still open as many 9, 12, 18, and 24-month time deposits until you’ve exhausted the maximum count of five (5) time deposits you’re allowed to maintain in your Tonik App. No limits there, luv!
Good question, luv. We disabled the auto-rollover feature in all Time Deposits created before April 2024, so we can apply some changes to the deposit product.
This allows us to create and launch awesome products that are tailored to your day-to-day needs! Don’t worry, you can still toggle the rollover button when you create a new Time Deposit.
That’s easy, luv! You just have to maintain a monthly average daily balance (ADB) of Php 10,000 throughout the life of your 6-month Time Deposit and transact at least once a month to earn the additional 1%.
If you miss out on any of these criteria, your 6-month Time Deposit can still earn 5% p.a. Hope this helps! XOXO
You have a lot of options for that, luv! It can be a top-up, a virtual or physical debit card transaction, a cash-out, or even a bills payment. Pro-tip: Don’t limit yourself to just one transaction per month to be safe! XOXO
