How AfriLink Susu works

01

Create your group

Set the group name, contribution amount, cycle (weekly/monthly), and payout order. Done in 60 seconds.

02

Invite by @handle

Add members using their AfriLink @handle. No phone numbers, no bank details — just their payment identity.

03

Contribute automatically

Members set up auto-pay from their AfriLink wallet. Contributions collect on schedule — no chasing, no awkward reminders.

04

Payout rotates

Each cycle, the designated member receives the full pot — directly to their AfriLink wallet or preferred rail.

Built for real savings groups

📖 Transparent ledger

Every contribution, every missed payment, and every payout is recorded on an immutable ledger visible to all group members. No disputes, no "I sent it last week".

🔔 Smart reminders

Members receive push notifications and WhatsApp reminders before each contribution deadline. Customisable by the group organiser.

🌍 Cross-border groups

Your group doesn't have to be in the same city — or even the same country. Members in Lagos, Nairobi, and Accra can save together seamlessly.

🗓️ Flexible schedules

Weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cycles. Custom payout orders — random draw, fixed rotation, or organiser-assigned. Your group, your rules.

🏦 Multiple payout rails

Payout recipients can receive to their AfriLink wallet, mobile money, or bank account — wherever they are, in their local currency.

📱 Mobile-first

Designed for the smartphone in your pocket, not a desktop. Works on any phone, including entry-level Android devices on 2G.

The trust that makes Susu work

Traditional susu relies on community trust and social accountability. AfriLink adds a layer of cryptographic accountability — every member can see every transaction, every timestamp. The group's organiser can set rules for what happens if a member misses a contribution (grace period, penalty, or removal). The pot is never held by the organiser — it's held in escrow by AfriLink until the designated payout date. No one can spend what isn't theirs.
