Ajo savings or Esusu, is one very popular means we love to save our money. But we know the wahala that comes with Ajo. Now, thanks to the innovative solution by ALAT, anyone with a smartphone can now enjoy a safe and secure savings plan.

ALAT’s savings feature allows users to form savings groups with family and friends, and then take turns receiving lump sum payments. There are many benefits to using this feature. For one, it can help users save more money than they might be able to on their own, as the other members of the group hold them accountable. Additionally, it provides a built-in support system and community, as members work together towards a common goal of financial stability and security.

This feature is also incredibly flexible and customizable. Users can create groups with as few as three members or as many as 12, and can set their own contribution amounts and rotation schedules. The feature also provides an easy way to track group contributions, payments, and schedules, making it simple for all members to stay on top of their obligations.

And if you are like Ade that has suffered at the hands of Ajo handlers in the past, ALAT has decided to provide extra transparency and security to the feature. The platform provides full transparency on all group activities, including contributions and payouts, giving users peace of mind and a clear view of their financial progress. So this time, there is no fear or cause for alarm about your contribution money.

4. Ability to save towards a goal

Saving towards a joint goal is a great way for multiple individuals to work together towards a common financial objective.
