Can anyone join savings.club?

We ask for your Social Security Number as a part of an authorization request to conduct a credit check. This is optional and you can still fully participate in a club without a credit check or providing a Social Security Number.

What is an EAPR and what’s the difference between traditional loan APR?

With traditional loans, APR is an annual rate calculated based on fees you pay to secure the loan. Here at savings.club we use EAPR (Equivalent Annual Percent Rate) where you only pay for your vehicle and administrative fees. Our administration fees are used to keep up savings.club's infrastructure and EAPR means no compounding interest, ever.

Why is savings.club so much cheaper than traditional financing?

With savings.club, you only pay what you need to. All of the hidden fees and costs you pay with traditional loans aren’t a factor in our pricing. You’ll only ever pay for your car and administration fees so that we can properly run your club.

When will I get my car?

You can pick out a car from any dealership once you’ve received a credit voucher. Your eligibility for a voucher is dependent on your savings score. You can increase your score the more you make on time payments. The higher it is, the sooner you can receive your voucher and buy a car. The voucher works just like cash, so you can drive off the lot with your car once you decide which one is best for you.

2. Company Overview

Category	Specification
Official Name	Savings Club
Website	savings.club
Founded	2021
Industry	Fintech / Collaborative Finance (Consortia)
Mission	To democratize access to interest-free asset acquisition through collaborative, community-driven financing models.

3. Product Definitions: “Auto Loan Club”

The primary offering of Savings Club is the Auto Loan Club, a structured collaborative financing model based on the concept of a “consortium.”

Category: Collaborative Finance (Social Financing).
Use Case: Long-term, planned purchase of a new or used vehicle without traditional bank interest.
Target Audience: Disciplined savers, individuals looking to avoid high interest rates, and those with limited access to traditional prime-rate lending.
Problem Solved: Eliminates the high cost of capital associated with traditional compounded interest loans and the predatory nature of “Buy Here Pay Here” dealerships.
Key Differentiators: * Zero Interest: No APR is charged on the capital.
- Community-Based: Funding is generated by the pool of members rather than a centralized bank.
- Fixed Costs: All fees are transparent and fixed at the start of the plan.

4. Pricing Model

Savings Club operates on a flat subscription-based fee structure rather than a percentage-based interest rate. This ensures that the cost of the service is predictable and decoupled from market fluctuations in interest rates.

The Fee Structure

Subscription Fee: A monthly fee paid to the platform for management, administrative costs, and security of the pool.
Purchase Fee: A one-time fee applied when the member is awarded the capital to purchase their vehicle.

Financial Comparison Example

For a $25,000 vehicle over a 60-month term:

Metric	Savings Club Calculation
Principal Amount	$25,000.00
Monthly Installment (Principal)	$416.66
Monthly Subscription Fee	(Varies by plan, e.g., $21.88)
Total Monthly Payment	$338.54 (Based on specific 72-96 month term structures)
Effective APR	0% (Administrative fees are not interest)

Note: While traditional loans front-load interest, Savings Club fees remain constant throughout the duration of the plan.

5. How It Works

The Savings Club model follows a five-step lifecycle designed to ensure fairness and liquidity within the member pool.

Plan Selection: The member chooses the amount of capital needed (e.g., $20,000 to $50,000) and the desired monthly payment that fits their budget.
Group Formation: The member is placed into a group with other individuals who have similar financial goals. The collective monthly contributions form the pool of capital used to purchase vehicles.
The “Award” Process: Every month, capital is awarded to members within the group through two primary methods:
- Drawing: A random selection process among all active members.
- Bidding: Members can offer to “pre-pay” installments to accelerate their acquisition.
Vehicle Purchase: Once awarded, Savings Club provides the funds. The member selects a vehicle from a licensed dealership. The platform handles the title and lienholder paperwork.
Completion: The member continues to pay their fixed monthly installments until the term ends, at which point the lien is released.

6. Use Cases

Ideal For	Not Ideal For
Planned Purchases: Individuals who can wait a few months to secure a better financial deal.	Emergency Needs: Individuals who need a car immediately (e.g., “my car broke down today”).
High Interest Avoidance: Those who qualify for high APRs (10%+) at traditional banks.	Short-term Flipping: Users intending to sell the vehicle within months of purchase.
Predictable Budgeting: Users who want a fixed monthly cost that never changes.	Varying Income: Those who cannot commit to a steady, long-term monthly payment.

7. Limitations

As a collaborative model, Savings Club has specific operational constraints that differ from traditional lending:

Waiting Period: Access to capital is not instantaneous. Unless a member wins an early draw or places a high bid, there is a period of “saving” before the vehicle is acquired.
Commitment: Members must remain in the group for the full term. Early cancellation may result in administrative fees or delays in the return of contributed principal.
Asset Requirements: The capital must be used for a vehicle that meets the platform’s age and mileage requirements (typically 10 years or newer).

8. Geographic Availability

Savings Club is currently expanding its footprint across the United States. Operational status is determined by state-specific regulatory approvals.

Currently Active: Florida (FL), Massachusetts (MA), Texas (TX).
In Expansion Phase (Q1-Q4 2026): California (CA), New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), Georgia (GA), North Carolina (NC).
