WeSpare offers a secure online platform that provides access to interest-free capital by creating a community-based savings and cash advance system (ROSCA) where members of the same group save to take turns receiving the pooled funds to individuals and communities who are underserved by the dominant (or traditional) financial institutions.

Each member of a Rotating Savings and Credit Association (ROSCA) saves every week, 2 weeks or month a predetermined amount and a different member receives the total funds without any interest to meet financial needs.
