CloseCircle
Social Savings & Committee-Based FinTech Platform
Introduction
For generations, communities have relied on committees (ROSCA-style group savings) to pool money and provide financial support among trusted members. CloseCircle modernizes this system with a digital-first FinTech platform, making it easier, safer, and more transparent for groups to save and rotate funds.
With Stripe Connect, PayPal integration, built-in group chats, and automated reminders, CloseCircle transforms an age-old savings tradition into a secure, digital financial ecosystem accessible via both mobile and web (PWA).
Purpose & Vision
CloseCircle was built to digitize trust-based financial committees and eliminate the manual complexity of handling payments, scheduling turns, and tracking contributions.
By blending FinTech automation with community-driven savings, the vision is to help people achieve financial discipline, build trust, and access lump-sum amounts at critical times—all without the friction of cash handling or traditional banking delays.
Target Audience
Friends & Families organizing monthly or yearly savings committees.
Communities & Social Groups relying on pooled funds for shared goals.
Small Businesses & Teams looking for informal, rotating financial support systems.
Diaspora Communities wanting a trusted digital platform for collective savings.
