The circle you trust, with nothing left to memory

Everyone puts in the same amount each round, and one member takes home the whole pot. Santim keeps the book.

Rounds happen

How it works

One round, from payment to payout

  1. Form or join a group

    Join an open Santim equb, or bring your own group of members. Everyone agrees the amount, the number of members and weekly or monthly rounds.

  2. Pay your contribution

    Pay at the office before the round date. Your payment appears in your member record straight away.

  3. The turn is decided

    The member for this round is chosen by the order or draw the group agreed. Everyone can see the result.

  4. The pot is paid out

    The whole pot goes to that member — in cash or into their Santim savings. The next round starts.

Group rules

What keeps an equb fair

Everyone pays every round

Including members who have already received the pot.

Open record

Payments and turns are kept in the Santim system and shown to every member.

Members only

Equb groups are for registered Santim members, so everyone is known.
