Diamond Bank Esusu: How To Register And Use The Online Money Saving Platform

Esusu as its popular known in the local parlance is a collective savings scheme which traces its roots to Ghana; ‘Susu’ as it was originally called historically in Ghana, was and is still a local savings concept developed not for individuals but for groups of people to collectively put their money together till it becomes a bulk sum and within a pay-period its loaned out to an individual in the group (ranging from 3-40), who after a while pays back with interest and the cycle continues. This local thrift system did spread from Ghana to other African countries not leaving Nigeria out.

The Esusu savings system metamorphoses into financial schemes which come under the general name(s) of Rotational Saving and Credit Associations (ROSCA) or Informal Savings Clubs. Diamond bank, one of Nigeria’s leading financial institutions recently launched its all new innovative ‘grassroots’ style online saving platform called the ‘Diamond Esusu’ its own unique form of rotating and contributory savings scheme where interested customers save their money on the bank’s online portal either via the Diamond Mobile App or its internet banking platform called ‘Diamond Online’. The Diamond Esusu savings scheme brings together a total of 12 persons into a collective group where they save and a date is scheduled for bulk payout to each due participant, the catch with Diamond Esusu savings scheme is that it is interest free.
