How Monthly Peer Lending Works

A simple 4-step cycle that repeats every month.

1

Members Contribute

Each member contributes a fixed monthly amount to a shared lending pool.

2

Requests Open

Workers request loans for urgent needs like rent, healthcare, or transportation.

3

Loans Are Issued

Community-approved loans are sent out based on circle rules and available funds.

4

Repayments Recycle

Repayments return to the pool so the next members can borrow the following month.

Monthly Contribution Tiers

Choose a tier that matches your budget and income volatility.

Starter

$25 / month

Good for workers testing the model while building consistency.

Core

$50 / month

Balanced contribution level for regular participation in the lending circle.

Builder

$100 / month

Stronger monthly contribution that increases total lending capacity.

Example Monthly Pool Math

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.
