Every Nigerian friend group knows this struggle: grand plans are made in the group chat, girls’ trips, birthday turn-ups, funding a bestie’s business, but somehow, life (and account balance) gets in the way.
But Zedcrest Wealth is changing that with POOL, a smart, fun, and commitment-friendly way to save together, stay accountable, and even earn rewards while at it. Here are five things you need to know about it.
Why POOL?
POOL is designed from the idea of pooling money with friends, which is nothing new. It takes the stress out of group savings, ensuring transparency and making everyone stay committed while automating the process for ease.
Whether it’s a squad vacation, a business investment, or a cause that matters, POOL keeps the plan on track. This is one great way to structure your soft life.
How it works
If you’re curious about how POOL works, it’s the easiest thing you can do. All you have to do is create a POOL account, set a savings goal, and invite your squad, AKA friend group.
You can also schedule your contributions daily, weekly, or monthly. All at the tips of your fingers.
Great interest rate
POOL doesn’t just keep your money safe, it grows it at a 16% per annum interest rate. POOL makes sure your squad stays on track, automates contributions, and even throws in rewards to keep you going. No more ‘next year’ plans, just action.
More rewards
If you commit to your saving goals, you will earn streaks that you can turn into rewards. You can even convert your streaks into coins that can be redeemed for Chowdeck and Uber vouchers, helping you save on transport and food.
There’s a POOL challenge
In case you are not informed, the Zedcrest Pool Challenge is getting spicier. From April to May, friends across Nigeria can form squads, save towards a goal, and compete for a ₦1 million reward monthly to split among the winning team. All you need to do is save with your squads a minimum of 500k and stand a chance to win an additional one million naira.
Conclusion
POOL is more than just savings; it’s a financial accountability hack that brings people together. Whether you’re a corporate girly saving for a team retreat or a creative trying to fund your next big project, there’s a POOL for you. And with streak rewards that literally cover your food and transport costs, there’s no reason to miss a goal.
