What happens on the 1st
Including the mornings when it does not go to plan. A product that sends somebody's mother her rent should be able to describe its own failures in public.
The five outcomes
Everyone on the schedule was paid. Each person has a record and so do you.
Some were paid and some were not. The app names both groups — who was paid, who was not, and why for each. Never a single summary line.
Nothing fired, because the pot was paused or nothing was payable. This is not a failure and it is not silence: a skipped run still gets a record, so a quiet month cannot look identical to a broken app.
Money did not move. You are told whether anything left the pot, because that is the only question that matters in the moment.
In flight. Not yet an outcome.
When it is not enough
When the pot is short
On a fixed schedule, nobody is paid and the run retries. That is deliberate. Paying three of five relatives creates a conversation between them that you did not choose to start, and it cannot be undone by paying the other two an hour later.
If you have turned on automatic top-up, the app pulls the shortfall from your main account first — up to the cap you set, and never below the floor you left. If that is not enough, or it is off, the run fails cleanly and tells you exactly what it needed.
- The run needed
- ₦95,000.00
- In the pot
- ₦60,000.00
- Automatic top-up cap
- ₦30,000.00
- Short by
- ₦5,000.00
Nobody was paid. The run will try again tomorrow.
One notification you cannot switch off
If a run fails, you are told. That single notification has no toggle, in any settings screen, on either side. Everything else can be silenced.
