"Stepladder is a great company for the people!

With the break down of community Pardnas (due to the introduction of accessible loans) this was refreshing to see a company put community first, helping people generate and build house deposits. Being an ambassador and having run a successful circle myself, I can see first hand how Stepladder are literally changing the lives of so many people! Definitely check them out"

How it works

 

SET YOUR GOAL 

Tell us your goal, and how much you can afford each month.

CIRCLE MATCHING

We’ll match you to a group of people with a similar financial goal. This will be your StepLadder Circle.

CONTRIBUTING THE SAME AMOUNT

Everyone contributes the same amount each month.

DRAW DAY 

Each month, one person in the Circle is randomly allocated the total.

REPEAT

This repeats every month until everyone has received their savings total.

 

How is this different to a traditional Pardna, Susu + Ajo?

Everything is done digitally taking out the usual pains of being in a Pardna, Susu + Ajo

 

Trust

We put measures in place to make sure people pay. If they don't it becomes our problem and not yours.
