Hey everyone I believe this might resonate with people around
We’re hosting a free session on community savings circles and giving an early look at Bread Stacks, our new digital savings tool, before it goes public.
Beyond the Bank: Practical Savings Tools for Communities
Thursday 26th February 10:00 AM PST / 13:00 EST / 19:00 CET
What we’ll cover:
The history of ROSCAs and why they’ve outlasted every formal institution that tried to replace them
Real-world examples of savings circles funding major life events without a single loan
A live showcase of Bread Stacks and what it could look like for your organisation
No technical experience needed. Built for NGOs, cooperatives, and collectives.
Sorry I will miss this due to schedule conflict. When I attend local conferences on cooperative movements in general, the topic below keeps coming up.
I am not entirely convinced at state-sponsored bank along this lines is necessarily going to work out well. Government bureaucratic solutions often fail to impress. My personal banking is through a credit union, which seems closer to the cooperative spirit.
However, the models in your upcoming presentation may be closer still. I would very much be interesting in comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each of these models.
