Still not convinced?
There are tons and tons of content filled pages that our team of design
experts have prepared specically for you, so that you can understand the
INs and OUTs of being a resident.
Day ONE Residents are the clients we serve such as
yourself when you sign up. All members of the Day One Society
are residents. The term was coined by our founder because he
believed finance is an ecosystem and not just another rhelm of
the many complicated adulthood phenomena. On the surface there
isn't much to a ROSCA/Stokvel, however when you scratch the
surface you realise that there is so much to it and most
importantly there are many ways to get more out of your hard
earned savings
Becoming A Resident
Anyone above the age of 18 can become a Resident and the
sign up process is effortless. To get started, create a Day
ONE account. The account is free of charge. You will need a
working email adress to sign up. The account gives you
access to your dashboard and from there you can join
stokvels, maintain your acccount and even recruit others.
Parents and guardians can open a stokvel account for a child
and that account will only be accessible to the child once
the child turns 18. People of all sexes and backgrounds are
invited and full anonymity can be utilised across all the
stokvels you partake in.
Can I Tell A Friend?
YES You can. You can recruit
Friends, Family, Co-Workers, and Colleagues.
We appreciate word of mouth as we know it speaks volumes about
our organisation's progress and customer satisfaction rate. We
also urge Residents to also help where applicable in the sign
up process of the referred friend so that they can enjoy the
best that the Day One Society has to offer.
Best Of All, Our App Are For Everyone

should strive to make payments available every week without
fail. You sign up for the weekly Stokvel by clicking on

questions for security and identification purposes. After

a minimum. Please note that you can be a part of as many
stokvels as you would like, provided that you can afford to

earn on the 15th are employees of the public sector however
we know there are many other private sector employees who
also get paid on the 15th, some earn their basic salary at
the end of the month then earn their OT and commission on
the 15th. Regardless though, we have you covered. In fact
you can subscribe to all the stokvels even if you earn on
the 15th of every month. In other words you can sign up for
the weekly, fortnightly or the MONTHLY stokvel. In order to

No. Day One and it's Society are not FSPs(Finanacial Services
Providers) because we don't have to be one. "Board Notice 43 of
2013 exempts Stokvels and Burial Societies from being licensed.
This obviously means that they no longer fall under the
jurisdiction of the FSB."

be more than 5 people in one stokvel at any given time. We as Day
One register and allocate residents to a stokvel, we do the admin
and treasury duties too. All you have to do is sign up and we do
the rest
No, Day ONE does not provide loans.
ROSCA stands for Rotating Savings and Credit Association, ASCA
stands for Accumulating Savings and Credit Association. A rotating
savings and credit association (ROSCA) is a group of individuals
who together act as an informal financial institution. A ROSCA
uses a common fund to which individuals contribute a set amount on
a regular basis (usually monthly), while one member withdraws the
funds at each meeting.Follow this link
for more information on ROSCAs. The central difference between
ASCAs and ROSCAs is that each time a ROSCA group meets and savings
are collected, the whole pot is then immediately in the same
meeting redistributed to one or several members of the groups.
ASCAs do not give the funds to anyone, but lend the funds to
willing borrowers with interest.Click here

the human element and SMEs are just that. So if you want help or
you are unsure about something just ask your SME. Each stokvel on
whatsapp has an SME. Long standing Residents who have a good track
record become SMEs so these individuals have invaluable
