ROSCA Services

Digitize rotating savings and credit associations with modern group management, automated collections, and transparent payout systems.

What is a ROSCA?

A Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA) is a group-based savings mechanism where members contribute fixed amounts at regular intervals. Each period, one member receives the entire pool, rotating until every member has received a payout.

Known by many names worldwide—chit funds in India, tandas in Latin America, susus in West Africa, and hui in China—ROSCAs have been helping communities save and access credit for centuries.

Our platform digitizes this time-tested model, bringing transparency, security, and scalability to community savings groups.
