Kin is not a bank.
Kin is the people you trust the most. 
With money.

Washing machine broken. Trainers not standing up. Mum missed work again for her treatment. Heat pump too expensive.

Kin is pooling money with friends, colleagues, neighbours and loved ones for things you planned for and things you didn’t expect. No more begging the bank for a loan with interest or going for months without washing clothes.

Social money pooling is used by communities all over the world. It's known by different names: hagbad, pardna, susu, tanda. We call it kin. 

As a not-for-profit cooperative, everyone who uses Kin owns the business and has an equal vote in how it’s run. 

 

How it works

  1. Start a group.
  2. Invite your friends, people you trust. 
  3. Decide together what your group is for and how it will work.
  4. Contribute to your group monthly, weekly or when you can. 
  5. See how much everyone has contributed and ask for money when you need it.
  6. Group admins approve payments from the group.  
  7. Pop a donation back to the Kin team so we can keep your cooperative running!
