History.

People have pooled money together for more than 5000 years.

Today, savings clubs are used by communities all over the world. Some groups pay into a shared pool every week or month and give the total to one person at a time (rotation), and others keep building the pool for when someone needs it (accumulation).

There is a name for them in every language:
