What is Bisrat Equb?
Bisrat Equb is a mobile app that brings the traditional Ethiopian Equb online. You can create or join an Equb, contribute on schedule, and take part in transparent digital draws.
How does a digital Equb work?
It works just like the Equb you know. Members agree on an amount and a schedule, everyone contributes each round, and one member receives the collected pot. Bisrat keeps track of payments, schedules and draws for you.
How are winners selected?
At the scheduled time, Bisrat runs a random digital draw among all eligible members. The result is visible to every member and saved to the Equb history.
Can someone win more than once?
No. Once a member has received a payout, they are automatically excluded from later draws until every member has had their turn.
Do members continue contributing after winning?
Yes. Just like a traditional Equb, every member keeps contributing each round until the Equb is complete, so everyone receives the same total.
Can I create my own Equb?
Yes. Choose a name, contribution amount, frequency and number of members, then invite people with a link. You manage the Equb as its organizer.
How are members verified?
When joining an Equb, members confirm their phone number and verify their identity with a valid ID. Verified members are marked so everyone knows who they are saving with.
Is Bisrat available on Android and iOS?
Bisrat is coming to both Google Play and the App Store. Download links will appear here as soon as each version is live.
