Join nowA simple 4-step cycle that repeats every month.
Each member contributes a fixed monthly amount to a shared lending pool.
Workers request loans for urgent needs like rent, healthcare, or transportation.
Community-approved loans are sent out based on circle rules and available funds.
Repayments return to the pool so the next members can borrow the following month.
Choose a tier that matches your budget and income volatility.
$25 / month
Good for workers testing the model while building consistency.
$50 / month
Balanced contribution level for regular participation in the lending circle.
$100 / month
Stronger monthly contribution that increases total lending capacity.
If 20 members contribute an average of $50 each, the circle creates a $1,000 monthly pool.
Example disbursement: 2 loans at $300 and 1 loan at $400 each month.
Adjust the sliders to simulate how a lending circle can fund monthly personal loans.
