The way it usually goes

Pooling money is easy.
Splitting it fairly is the hard part.

Aunt joined six months in. She thinks her share should equal everyone else's.

— every family pool, eventually

Cousin wants out before December. Nobody can agree what he's owed.

— the cashout argument

The admin spent every Sunday managing this. Nobody pays them for it.

— the unpaid treasurer

How VPT solves it

Built on the same math that runs unit trusts and SACCOs.

Every contribution buys units at the live net asset value. Every cashout redeems units at the live net asset value. The math doesn't take sides.

Late joiners pay today’s price

When someone joins after a year of growth, their money buys units at the NAV that day — not yesterday’s. They don’t dilute anyone, and they don’t get a free ride on past gains.

Equal money, today, equals equal units, today.

Cashouts settle to the cent

Whatever the pool is worth on the day of redemption, that’s the price. The system shows the working — capital in, profit ratio, fee, net to member — before anyone clicks approve.

No more “what do you think it’s worth?”

Admins get paid, transparently

Set a performance fee — a small percentage of each member’s profit, taken at cashout. Never on capital. Never when the pool is at a loss. Visible to every member, every time.

Sunday work, finally compensated.
How it works

Three moving parts.
That's the whole system.

01

Set the rules

Cadence, deadlines, lock-in, notice periods, admin fee. The pool's constitution lives in one place — and members see it.

02
+ 12.4 units

Members contribute

Admin records each top-up with a payment reference. The system issues units at that moment's net asset value. No back-dated fairness debates.

03
+ invest+ invest

Profits compound

Investments hit the pool — trades, lending, real estate, anything. Every member's share moves with it, proportionally. Cashouts settle at the current NAV — to the cent.

Two members. Different times.
Both treated fairly.

Step through a six-month story to watch unit accounting do its job. Aline starts the pool. Three months later, Patrick joins after the pool has grown. The pool's investments earn a return. Watch where each dollar lands.

Story

1
Aline contributes $1,000.Pool starts. NAV = $100.00 → 10 units issued.
2
Investment gain: +$200.Pool now $1,200, still 10 units. NAV climbs to $120.00.
3
Patrick contributes $1,200.At $120 NAV → 10 units. He owns 50% of the new pool.
4
Investment gain: +$240.Pool now $2,640, 20 units. NAV climbs to $132.00.
5
Aline's profit: $320. Patrick's profit: $120.Both earned 10% on the gain that happened after they joined. Aline kept the gain that happened before.

What's in the box

The whole thing.
Nothing missing.

Unit / NAV accounting

The same math that runs unit trusts. Late joiners can’t dilute. Early leavers can’t overdraw.

Performance fees, fair

A configurable cut of profit at cashout. Never on capital. Zero when the member is at a loss.

Lock-in & notice rules

Set a cool-down after joining and a notice window before redemptions. Members see the clock.

Audit trail

Every transaction tagged with a payment reference. Who did what, and when, kept forever.

Charts & dashboards

Pool growth, ownership, member positions. Built so a non-financial member understands them.

Multi-currency

RWF, USD, KES, UGX, EUR. One pool, one currency, no surprise conversions.

Pricing

One percent.
Capped at $5.

You only pay when money actually moves. No subscription, no setup fee, no per-seat cost.

1%

Per top-up. Per approved cashout.

Capped at $5 per transaction — the wedge that scales with your pool, not against it.

Free until your pool value crosses $80 — frictionless onboarding while you set up.

No subscription. No setup fee. No per-seat cost.

Effective rate1.00%
Your pool would pay $22.00 / month — that's a 1.00% effective rate, well within the cap.

top-up fee:  min($200 × 1%, $5 cap) = $2.00
cashout fee: min($200 × 1%, $5 cap) = $2.00
monthly:     10 × $2.00 + 1 × $2.00 = $22.00
volume:      $200 × 11 txns = $2,200
rate:        $22.00 ÷ $2,200 = 1.000%

→ below the cap. You're paying the full 1%.

A SACCO management software costs $1,500 / year, regardless of usage. We cost only when money actually moves.

Why this can be trusted

Specific guarantees.
No security theater.

Every transaction has a reference

MoMo code, bank wire number, cash receipt — required, not optional. The pool’s books reconcile to real-world records.

Member-visible audit log

Every member sees every contribution, investment result, and cashout in the same place. Admins can’t quietly edit history.

The math is open

Unit / NAV accounting, the same standard used by unit trusts and SACCOs. We show the working at every cashout — profit ratio, fee, net.

Admin actions are timestamped

Approvals, rejections, rule changes — all logged with who and when. If your admin disappears, the next admin inherits a clean record.

Frequently asked

The honest questions.
Answered honestly.

How is this different from a spreadsheet?+
A spreadsheet is a calculator that any one person can change. VPT is a ledger that everyone sees and that no one can quietly edit. The math is the same — we just enforce it consistently and keep the history.
What happens if the admin disappears?+
The pool keeps running. Every transaction lives in the ledger with a reference, every action is logged. The next admin picks up an unbroken record — they don’t have to reconstruct anyone’s position from text messages.
Can I see exactly how my share is calculated?+
Yes. Open your member detail and you’ll see every contribution, the NAV at the time, the units issued, and your current value. At every cashout we show the full breakdown — capital, profit ratio, fee, net to you — before approval.
Do you hold any of our money?+
No. VPT is a ledger, not a custodian. The money lives wherever the pool already keeps it — a bank account, a brokerage, a mobile money wallet. We record the truth about who owns what.
Is this legal in Rwanda or Kenya?+
Recording how a private group of people split their own money is not a regulated activity. We don’t move money. If your pool size or activity reaches a threshold where local regulation applies, that’s a question for your group and an advisor — but the typical family pool sits well below that line.
What about taxes?+
Taxes apply to the pool the same way they applied before VPT existed. Our job is to give you a clean record — every contribution, every cashout, every gain — so your accountant has something to work with instead of a chat thread.
