Who it's for

Built for people whose money keeps moving.

Traders paying suppliers

Settle a supplier who is also a MamaSave member instantly and free — no bank charges, no waiting on alerts.

Savers expecting payouts

Let your cycle payouts land somewhere safe before you decide what to spend them on.

Group organisers

Move money between Daily Savings, Turn-by-Turn and Committee of Friends without leaving the app.

Anyone tired of scattered cash

One balance instead of money spread across pockets, collectors and multiple bank apps.

Core value

What the wallet actually does.

One balance that receives, moves and releases your money — with a record of every step.

Holds every payout

Daily Savings maturities, Turn-by-Turn payouts, Committee of Friends disbursements and WealthPot maturities all land in the same balance.

Sends to members instantly

Pay another MamaSave member in seconds. Member-to-member transfers are instant and completely free.

Funds your next cycle

Start a new savings cycle, pay a Turn-by-Turn contribution or open a WealthPot straight from your wallet balance.

Withdraws to your bank

Cash out to your saved payout account whenever you need the money outside MamaSave.

Logs every movement

Every credit and debit is written to a ledger you can open at any time — nothing happens quietly.

Funding

Six ways to put money in.

Fund it yourself, let a sponsor do it, or let your completed cycles do it automatically.

Card

Fund through the secure Paystack modal. Your balance updates the moment the payment confirms.

Bank transfer

Transfer to the Cooperative collection account shown in the app. Credits once the bank confirms.

USSD

Dial the USSD string from your phone and complete the top-up without data.

Auto-debit

Schedule a recurring debit so your wallet is funded automatically before each cycle.

Sponsor top-up

Share a HelpMePay link and let someone else fund your wallet for you.

Automatic credits

Completed cycles and matured pots credit your wallet on their own — nothing to claim.

Send to a member

Pay another member in three taps.

Instant, free, and receipted on both sides.

  1. 1Find

    Search the recipient

    Search by phone number or name. Results are masked so you confirm the right person without exposing anyone's details.

  2. 2Confirm

    Enter your 4-digit PIN

    Every outgoing movement needs your PIN. No PIN, no transfer — even on your own device.

  3. 3Done

    Instant and free

    The money lands immediately and both sides get a receipt in their ledger.

Balance slightly short? MamaCredit can cover the difference — see below.

MamaCredit

Pay even when your balance is short.

A convenience feature for small shortfalls — not a loan product.

Wallet covers what it can

Your available balance is applied first; only the difference becomes a credit note.

Fee on the shortfall only

A small fee applies to the covered difference — configurable, currently around 3%.

Settle before you use it again

The outstanding note must be cleared before MamaCredit is available to you again.

Need real credit instead?

MamaCredit is for small gaps. For working capital, use Mama Loans.

Withdrawals

Cashing out to your bank.

Your saved payout account

Withdrawals go to the payout account you saved — bank name, 10-digit NUBAN and the account holder's name.

Usually within about 3 hours

Most withdrawals land in about three hours, weekends included. Bank downtime can add a little time.

One pending withdrawal at a time

You can only have a single withdrawal in flight, which keeps your ledger clean and prevents double payouts.

Ledger and receipts

Nothing moves without a record.

Line-itemised ledger

Every credit and debit shows the date, the source product and your running balance after the movement.

Downloadable statements

Pull a statement for any period and keep it for your own records.

Proof of turnover

Traders can use wallet statements to show consistent money movement when it matters.

Trust and safety

Your balance is protected by design.

Cooperative bank accounts

Funds sit in MamaSave Eliozu Multipurpose Co-operative Society Limited (MamaSave Cooperative Ltd) accounts — never in a personal or staff account.

PIN on every outgoing movement

Sends, funding of new cycles and withdrawals all require your 4-digit PIN.

Device binding and OTP

Sensitive changes — new device, new payout account, PIN reset — need an OTP on your registered number.

Named payout accounts only

You can only withdraw to an account you saved and that was verified against your name.

Card details never stored

Cards are processed by a PCI-compliant provider. MamaSave never sees or keeps your card number.

No hidden charges

Member-to-member transfers are free and the fees that do apply are published on the fees page.
