## Why SikaCircle
Ghana had **38.3M active mobile connections** at the start of 2025, **80.5M registered mobile-money accounts** by December, and **26.7M active accounts**. Yet most group finances still live in WhatsApp screenshots, group-chat receipts, and a treasurer's memory.
SikaCircle turns those receipts into a shared ledger every member can see β powered by Moolre for payments, SMS, USSD, and settlement webhooks.
