Sòl

In development · Coming soon

Save together.
Rise together.

Sòl brings the Haitian tradition of the sòl — a rotating savings circle among people who trust each other — into a clear, organized digital experience. Fixed schedules, a fair random payout order, and pricing you can see up front.

Sòl is not a bank and is not yet accepting real-money contributions. Nothing on this site collects payment.

What is a sòl?

A tradition of trust, organized for today.

In Haiti and across the diaspora, a sòl is a group of family members, friends or coworkers who each put in the same amount on a regular schedule. Every round, one person takes home the whole pot — until everyone has had their turn. It turns small, steady contributions into a meaningful lump sum.

Sòl keeps what makes the tradition work — people you know and a shared commitment — and adds what paper notebooks and group chats can’t: a fixed schedule, verified members, a random payout order and a clear record of every step.

“Men anpil, chay pa lou.”

Many hands make the load light. — Haitian proverb

Eight members, one pot. Each week, a different member receives it.

How it works

Four steps from invitation to payout.

The full explanation
  1. Step 1: An organizer creates a private circle

    Choose the weekly amount and the cycle length. The circle stays private — members join by invitation and organizer approval.

  2. Step 2: Members join and verify

    Every seat must be filled, and every member must complete verification, before the cycle can begin.

  3. Step 3: The payout order is drawn at random

    Before the first week, Sòl randomly assigns each member one payout week, so no one picks their own place in line.

  4. Step 4: Contribute weekly, receive once

    Everyone contributes the same amount each week. Each week, one member receives the pot — until everyone has received theirs.

Weekly amounts

$50 · $100 · $200 · $500

Cycle lengths

4, 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks

Proposed fee

3% of each payout

Why organized savings

The same trust. Far less guesswork.

Informal circles depend on one person keeping track of everything. Sòl is designed to give every member the same clear view.

A schedule everyone can see

Every contribution date and every payout date is set before the cycle starts and visible to the whole circle.

A fair, random order

Payout weeks are assigned by random draw — not by who asks first or who knows the organizer best.

Simple, disclosed pricing

One proposed platform fee — 3% of each payout — shown before you join. No surprises.

Verified members

Members confirm their identity before a cycle begins, so you know who you are saving with.

Reminders and records

Clear reminders before each due date and a running history of every contribution and payout in your circle.

Built on tradition

The sòl has helped Haitian families reach big goals for generations. Sòl keeps the trust and adds structure.

Plain and simple

What Sòl is — and what it isn’t.

Trust starts with being clear. Here is exactly where Sòl stands today.

Sòl is

  • A platform to organize rotating savings circles
  • Built for people who already know and trust each other
  • In development, preparing for launch
  • Transparent about its proposed 3% fee

Sòl is not

  • A bank or a deposit account
  • FDIC-insured or a guaranteed savings program
  • An investment, loan or credit product
  • Accepting real-money contributions yet
