Getting started
Welcome to Sousou
Your digital companion for rotating savings circles. Save together with transparency, trust, and ease.
Understanding Sousou
Circle
Your savings group. Create a circle or join one with an invite link. Each circle has its own contribution schedule and rules.
Round
One full rotation where every member receives the pot once. Rounds run on a schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). When a round finishes, you can start a new one.
Turn
One step within a round: all members contribute and a single member receives the lump sum. Every member takes one turn per round.
Contribution
The amount you pay into the circle each turn. Pay online via payment gateways or offline when the circle allows it.
Settlement
The payout that sends the collected pot to the turn's recipient once contributions are in — to their bank, mobile money, or wallet.
Tips for success
Trust is key
Only join circles with people you know and trust. Sousou adds transparency, but trust between members is still the foundation.
Clear communication
Use circle chat for schedules, contributions, and changes. Keep everyone in the loop.
Set realistic amounts
Choose amounts everyone can afford regularly. Small, consistent contributions work better than missed payments.
