ROSCA: a new pillar of your savings, serving solidarity

Did you know that over 11 million South Africans are part of 'stokvels' – modern savings clubs – and collectively save more than 50 billion rands each year to fund weddings, funerals, or even the purchase of a home?
Behind these figures lies a whole model of solidarity and financial inclusion: proof that saving can go hand in hand with mutual aid.

📊 Overview of the 5 major savings products in France

The "Livret A" – the basic secure option

  • Main advantage: immediate availability of funds.
  • Limit: historically low interest rate.

Life insurance – patrimonial flexibility

  • Main advantage: various management options and optimized transmission.
  • Limit: entry fees and tax implications to anticipate.

The Home Savings Plan (PEL) – the real estate project

  • Main advantage: guaranteed mortgage loan rate.
  • Limit: stringent duration and payment commitments.

The Equity Savings Plan (PEA) – long-term performance

  • Main advantage: potential for higher returns.
  • Limit: exposure to market volatility.

The digital ROSCA – solidarity savings

  • Main advantages:
    • Solidarity: everyone contributes and benefits from the common fund in turn.
    • Inclusion: accessible even without large initial capital.
    • Flexibility: functioning modalities adaptable to each need.
  • Cirkkle specifics: zero hidden fees, ultra-flexible settings.
