The Umtsimba Capital-Match Agro Vault
Save with your off-taker crop cash from July to November. In peak planting season, EasiBucks matches your pool at 1.5 : 1 — interest charged only on what we lend, never on what you saved.
Agriculture drives Eswatini's rural economy — banks still demand land deeds
Smallholder sugarcane, maize, and dairy farmers supplying the Eswatini Sugar Association, Ubombo Sugar, and local cooperatives are routinely starved of working capital at exactly the moment they need it most: the December–January planting and input season. Commercial banks penalise them for lacking formal collateral.
By observing their savings behaviour for five months, EasiBucks builds its own alternative credit scoring metric — EasiCred — without requiring a single land deed.
Four mechanics, one fair cost matrix
The Savings Run
Route a micro-percentage of your raw off-taker crop agreements or informal trade cash into a locked digital Agro Vault via MTN MoMo or eMali.
July → NovemberThe Algorithmic Match
At peak input season, EasiBucks executes a 1.5 : 1 credit match on your saved pool. Your EasiCred score is computed from your consistency.
December → JanuaryDisbursal Control
Capital loads onto a co-branded EasiBucks card or merchant voucher — spendable only at approved input suppliers for fertilizer, seed, and tractor services.
No diversionThe Fair Cost Matrix
You pay interest strictly on the portion we match and lend. Your own hard-earned savings stays entirely interest-free.

Enter what you plan to save through the season. The calculator shows how much EasiBucks will match, your total disbursable capital, and what you'll owe interest on.
Structural advantages for the rural economy
Solves the Liquidity Gap
Banks demand collateral smallholders don't have. Five months of observed savings behaviour replaces land deeds — and builds a real credit history.
Self-Funded Float Pool
The capital farmers pool between July and November serves as zero-cost internal treasury float, reducing reliance on expensive external commercial capital.
Use-Restricted Disbursal
Matched funds can only be spent at approved input supply networks — fertilizer, seed, tractor services — so the loan is never diverted to non-productive household expenses.
Mobile-Money Native
Contributions flow in through MTN MoMo and eMali loops you already use. No bank account required to build your vault.
