Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to common questions about how our app works, features, troubleshooting, and getting started easily.

1. Getting Started

What is RaundTable?

RaundTable is a digital platform that helps people save money together in trusted groups, commonly known as ROSCAs (Rotating Savings and Credit Associations). Our app makes it easy, secure, and transparent to join or run a savings group from your mobile device.

How do I join RaundTable?

Download the RaundTable app from the App Store or Google Play, create your account, verify your identity, and join your first Table. New users can also try a $1 Risk-Free Trial Table.

Is RaundTable free?

Yes, your first Table cycle is completely free. For additional cycles or Tables, RaundTable charges a small 1% Admin Fee on your payout amount.

Is RaundTable legal and safe to use?

Yes. RaundTable is a registered Australian company and complies with all relevant laws. We use bank-grade encryption to protect your personal details.

2. Tables & Savings

What is a Table?

A Table is a group of people (usually 3–10 members) who commit to saving together over a set number of weeks. Each member contributes the same amount weekly, and one member receives a payout each cycle until everyone has been paid.

How are Tables created?

RaundTable creates Tables and makes them available via the Table Market where pre-vetted users can search and join Tables. You can also request RaundTable to create a custom Table for you with your own selected users.

How does payout order work?

You’ll choose a payout position when joining a Table. Early positions receive their payout sooner but must commit to future contributions. Our system uses Contribution Reserving to ensure this commitment

What is Table Market?

Table Market allows you to join trusted, pre-vetted Tables with people who have similar savings goals, even if you don’t know anyone personally.

What happens when a Table ends?

After the final payout is made, your Table is marked as complete. You’ll have the option to rejoin, choose a new payout position, or explore other Tables.

3. Security & Default Protection

What is Payout Protection Cover (PPC)?

PPC is a refundable 10% fee paid with each contribution. It protects your Table in case someone defaults. If no one defaults, your PPC is fully refunded.

How does PPC work?

If a member misses a contribution, RaundTable uses that member’s PPC first. If needed, RaundTable PPC from other members in equal proportion to cover the shortfall, protecting everyone’s payouts.

What is Contribution Reserving (CR)?

CR is a feature for early payout members (positions 1–3). When they receive their payout, they must reserve their next contribution in advance to ensure the group is protected.

Can someone default after getting their payout?

Yes, but our Contribution Reserving feature helps minimise this risk by holding their next contribution in advance.

What happens if someone defaults?

If a member defaults and fails to resolve the default within 24 hours, they are removed from the Table, blacklisted from future Tables, and may be referred to a debt collection agency.

4. Wallet, Payments & Fees

What is the Wallet?

Your Wallet is where you deposit money to make contributions and receive payouts. You can top it up using PayID or bank transfer.

How long do Wallet transactions take?

Wallet top-ups and withdrawals typically process within 12 hours, depending on your bank.

Are there any other fees?
  • $30 late payment fee if you miss a contribution deadline.

  • $50 early exit fee if you leave a Table before it completes.

Is the Admin Fee refundable?

No. The 1% Admin Fee (charged after your first cycle) is non-refundable and helps cover platform operations.
