The invention provides an automated mobile-money value-capture mechanism designed to help users accumulate savings by setting aside small amounts from every outgoing transaction. The system operates on any mobile-money wallet or integrated financial service and uses a logic engine that applies two variables to each transaction: a percentage-based deduction and a flat "coins" amount. When a user initiates a transfer, the mechanism automatically diverts the combined captured value into a separate user-owned holding wallet before the transaction is completed. This interception ensures the savings are secured at the point of transfer without requiring additional user action. The solution may function as an independent application or as an embedded feature within a bank or mobile-money operator platform. By automating micro- savings from routine transactions, the invention enables consistent value accumulation and improved financial discipline for users
