Group Savings Tradition

Njangi, reinvented
for the digital age

The rotating savings group trusted for generations – now with escrow protection, trust scores, automated payouts, and zero fees.

What is a Njangi?

A Njangi (also called tontine) is a traditional rotating savings group. A group of trusted people each contribute a fixed amount at regular intervals. One member receives the full pot each cycle, rotating until everyone has had their turn.

It's community banking – built on trust. Payroon keeps the trust, removes the risk, and makes it work online for groups of any size.

Digital Njangi – built for trust

Escrow Protection

Every contribution is held securely in escrow by Payroon. No individual admin can touch the pot until the scheduled payout date.

Trust Score System

Every member builds a reputation. Pay on time, score rises. Miss a payment, it drops. Admins see scores before accepting members.

Automated Cycle Management

Payroon tracks deadlines. When a cycle opens, members receive notifications. On payout day, funds are released automatically.
