What's Included

Everything you need
to run this module.

Every feature ships ready to use on day one — no configuration consultants, no hidden costs.

🏦
Thrift Savings

Staff opt in and choose a monthly amount to save. Contributions are deducted from payroll automatically and tracked in a personal savings ledger. Members collect their full pot at year end.

🔄
Ajo Rotating Credit

Staff join a fixed contribution tier (₦10,000, ₦20,000, ₦30,000 or ₦50,000/month). The system auto-matches them with colleagues at the same tier. Each month one member receives the full pool.

🎯
Auto-Matching Engine

Members select their contribution tier and are automatically placed in a group with 4–10 colleagues at the same level. Once 4 members are matched, the cycle starts — no manual coordination needed.

💳
Payroll Integration

All contributions — thrift savings and Ajo — are deducted directly from the member's monthly net pay. No cash handling, no missed payments, no manual follow-up for HR.

📊
HR Dashboard

HR and Finance see every active group, contribution tier, running balances, rotation schedule, next recipient and payout history in a single real-time dashboard.

🔒
Cycle Protection

Ajo members cannot exit a group once the cycle has started — protecting all other members in the rotation. Thrift withdrawal requests are routed to HR for approval before processing.

How It Works

Up and running
in minutes.

01
Staff enrol

Employees opt into thrift savings, an Ajo group, or both from their self-service portal. Thrift members set their monthly amount. Ajo members pick a contribution tier.

02
Groups auto-form

The matching engine groups Ajo members by contribution tier. Once 4 members are matched the cycle starts and a random rotation order is assigned. The group closes at 10 members.

03
Payroll deducts

Each month, contributions are deducted automatically from payroll. HR sees the full ledger in real time with zero manual input required.

04
Payouts processed

Ajo: the next member in the rotation receives the full pool. Thrift: members collect their full accumulated savings at year end or a configured payout date.
