Test Digital Savings Circles with your team

What do I have to do?

We’re giving you the opportunity to take part in a bespoke trial of Savings Circles so you can better understand the benefits for your customers and your company.

All you have to do is gather a group of people to sign up and participate in the Circles platform simulation. NO integration is required and most of the process is automated, so there’s no extra work for you! NOTE: No money is being taken or awarded in this trial. It is a simulation only.

There will be a Draw every day for one week. Automated emails will direct participants check their Circle status in the platform, which will also be pre-loaded with offers to match the participant’s reason for saving.

Collect valuable data from your particpants

We provide you with a fully analysed report once the trial is complete so you can see the most effective channels of marketing, the conversion points, the participants’ reasons for saving and where you might be able to generate revenue from cross sell.

How does a Savings Circle work?

Step 1 - Match

You will be matched to a Circle of colleagues. The Circles platform will simulate adding money to your Savings account every day.

Step 2 - Draw

Every day there is a random draw simulation and one person will be ‘awarded’ the total Circle value.

Step 3 - Repeat

This process repeats every day until everyone in your Circle has been ‘awarded’ their total savings goal.
