Commercial Benefits

Savings Circles have been used around the world for generations. But until now they have been offline, informal and local. This model of saving in groups goes by over 100 different names depending on where you are in the world.

Offering digital Savings Circles is a great way to attract new customers who are already familiar with the product but want something digital, safe and scalable.

Your customers are already using savings circles…

How does a Savings Circle work?

Step 1 - Match

People get matched to a group of people with a similar financial goal and everyone contributes the same amount each month. For example £100 a month for 10 months to raise £1000.

Step 2 - Draw

Each month there is a random draw and one person is awarded the total, in this example £1000.

Step 3 - Repeat

This process repeats every month until everybody has received their £1000.
