Support

Ayuuto is a coordination platform for rotating savings circles (ROSCAs). If you need assistance, you’re in the right place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How do I create a savings circle?

Tap the “+” button on the Circles tab. Enter a circle name, contribution amount, and currency. Once created, invite members using the invite feature. When all members have joined, start the circle to begin the first round.

How do I join a savings circle?

You’ll receive an invitation notification from the circle host. Tap the notification or open the Notifications tab to accept. You can also ask the host to share an invite link.

What is a ROSCA?

A Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA) is a group savings method used worldwide. Members contribute a fixed amount each round, and one member collects the full pool. The process rotates until everyone has received a payout.

Contributions

How do I submit a contribution?

When a round is active and you are a contributor (not the recipient), go to the circle’s round screen and tap “Submit Contribution.” This marks your contribution as submitted. You must also send the actual money to the recipient outside the App (e.g., via e-transfer).

Why was my contribution rejected?

The circle host can reject a contribution if the external payment was not received. If you believe this is an error, you can file a dispute through the App.

What happens if I miss a contribution?

Missing a contribution lowers your trust score by 15 points. The host may reject your contribution for that round. You should communicate with your circle members if you are unable to contribute on time.

Trust Score

What is a trust score?

Your trust score (0–100) reflects your reliability as a circle member. It starts at 100 and decreases when you miss payments (−15), make late payments (−5), or have contributions rejected (−10). The score is visible to other members in your circles.

How do I improve my trust score?

Consistently submit and have your contributions confirmed on time. Your score is recalculated with each contribution event.

Circles

Can I leave a circle?

You can leave a circle that hasn’t started yet. Once a circle is active, you should speak with your host about leaving, as it affects the rotation for all members.

What happens when a circle completes?

After every member has been a recipient, the circle is marked as completed. All members receive a notification. Historical data (contributions, ledger entries) remains available for reference.

Reporting Issues

Something isn’t working

If you encounter a bug or the App isn’t behaving as expected, email us with:

  1. A description of the problem
  2. What you expected to happen
  3. Your device model and OS version
  4. Screenshots if possible

Reporting abuse or fraud

If you believe a circle member is acting fraudulently or abusing the platform, email us immediately. Include the circle name and a description of the situation. We take reports of fraud seriously and will investigate promptly.


Important Reminder: Ayuuto is a coordination tool only. We do not process, hold, or transfer money. All financial transactions happen directly between circle members using external methods (e.g., e-transfer, cash). Participate in savings circles with people you know and trust.
