Ajo · Esusu · Thrift
Your ajo, on a ledger nobody can argue with
Fixed contributions, a rotation order drawn in the open, and a record of exactly who paid and when. No exercise book, no “who has not paid?” in the group chat, and nothing resting on one person’s word.
Everyone sees the same board
Paid and outstanding, per member, per round.
Your slot, your business
Save toward a round privately. Others only ever see Paid or Pending.
Payouts need two officers
Released against the ledger, and recorded against a reference.
Start a thrift circle
A thrift circle belongs to one of your Circles, so it inherits its members and officers.
You need to run a Circle first
Only a Circle’s owner, moderator, or treasurer can open a thrift circle for it.
Create a Circle
After this, a missed contribution is flagged and disbursement pauses.
Recorded as a debt on the ledger. Nothing is deducted automatically.
You’ll add members and draw the rotation order next.
No open thrift circles match that
Most ajo circles are private to their association — ask your Circle’s treasurer for an invite.
