Three ways to save

Pick one per susu you join. You can belong to more than one.

Save at your own pace

Individual

Deposit any amount, any time. Choose a term from the ones on offer. Your balance is locked until maturity, then withdraw all of it or just part.

  • Any amount, any time
  • Terms of 3, 6, 12 months
  • Locked until maturity
  • No schedule, so no penalties
A fixed amount, a fixed cycle

Business Fixed

A set contribution over a fixed cycle. At the end every account opens, and we can buy China goods for members who opt in.

  • Fixed contribution
  • Daily, weekly or monthly
  • All accounts open at the end
  • Optional China goods order
One winner every month

Business Rotating

A higher contribution. From month two a seeded, audited shuffle picks a member who has not yet won, and the month’s pot is paid out to them.

  • One winner per month
  • First month held as collateral
  • 3-month buffer covers missed days
  • Everything released at the end

A till that works on a phone

Ring up a sale in seconds, on the counter or on the road.

Stock that cannot go negative

Held per branch, every change written down, and the movements always sum to the count.

Customers and their credit

Who owes you what, and what they have paid off.

What you actually made

Costs are copied onto a sale as it happens, so a price change never rewrites an old margin.

Bantaba Business

Run your shop, and put it in the market

Bantaba Business is a till, your stock, your suppliers, your customers and your takings — and every product you list appears in Bantaba Market, where buyers can find you, message you on WhatsApp, and pay into escrow.

It costs nothing. No registration fee, no monthly fee, no susu to join — and shop money and susu money never touch each other.

Bantaba Market

Buy from Gambian shops, safely

Browse without an account. When you do buy, your money waits in escrow until you confirm the goods arrived — and if something goes wrong, you can dispute it before a seller is paid.

Browse the market

Find it

Search by product, shop or category, and filter by price, delivery and where the seller is.

Pay into escrow

The seller is not paid on the spot. Your money is held until you say the goods arrived.

Or dispute it

Something wrong? Raise it before release and an administrator settles it either way.

The principle

What you save is what you get

Every member has their own ledger. A pot is funded only from contributions that were actually confirmed, and one member falling behind never reduces anybody else's balance. Every shuffle is seeded and logged, so a winner can always be checked afterwards.

Only saving carries fees. Selling and shopping cost nothing at all.
