Susu is older than any bank in Ghana. Ten traders agree on an amount, contribute every week, and one of them takes the whole pot. Next week, the next person takes it. By the end of the cycle, everyone has had their turn, no one has paid interest, and no one has lost a single pesewa to fees.
It works because the people in the circle trust each other.
What breaks it is paperwork. Notebooks get lost. Memories disagree. Someone says they paid in week three; someone else says they did not. The arguments are quiet, but they wear groups down.
We built Turns by EziLink to fix the paperwork, and nothing else.
We do not hold your money. We do not lend it. We do not invest it. We do not move it. The pot still passes hand to hand, the same way it has for generations. We just write down what happened, so everyone in the circle can see the same record at the same time.
Our name comes from a simple idea: the harvest belongs to the people who tilled the soil. We just keep the count straight.
If you run a Susu, lead a market group, or save with your family, we built this for you.
