No need to start from scratch

Join an open circle

These circles are filling up. Join one โ€” one more member may be all it needs to activate.

How CircleSave works

Three steps from sign-up to your first payout.

01

Create or join a circle

Start your own savings group with a fixed contribution amount, pick a cycle length, and choose Naira or USDC. Or scroll down to join an open circle instantly.

02

Everyone contributes each cycle

All 5+ members contribute the agreed amount every cycle. 5% auto-allocates to an insurance reserve. Every payment is immutably recorded on the double-entry ledger.

03

Receive your payout in turn

Each member takes turns receiving the full pool. Payouts are idempotent and reconciled before disbursement โ€” to your bank account, mobile money, or USDC wallet.

Bank-level security

Your money is protected at every step.

Built on the same principles as core banking systems. Every financial event creates an immutable, forensically auditable trail โ€” enforced by database trigger, not application code.

  • โœ“Ledger entries append-only โ€” DB trigger blocks DELETE
  • โœ“Financial fields immutable after creation
  • โœ“Idempotency keys prevent any duplicate payout
  • โœ“BVN/NIN KYC via Youverify + sanctions screening
  • โœ“AML risk scoring with automated SAR filing
  • โœ“Maker-checker approval for all admin actions
  • โœ“5% insurance reserve ring-fenced per circle

// Every contribution: 2 atomic transactions
