NYT published a clueless article on rotating savings and credit association (ROSCAs), describing them as a primarily South Korean phenomenon and wondering whether they might be "possible" in the US. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/18/b...

ROSCAs have existed for centuries in Africa, Southeast Asia and Japan. In fact they came to America over a decade ago, under the term "susu". Because US banks are unfamiliar with ROSCAs they have shuttered associated bank accounts, as reported by... NYT. 😐 www.nytimes.com/2023/11/05/b...
