What counts as a "community" on Paymainly?+
Any group that creates, shares, or protects value together — a 12-person savings circle, a 400-unit housing co-op, a global alumni network, a farmers' cooperative, a congregation, a union. If people contribute and belong, Paymainly can run its economy.
How does pricing work?+
Free to start for small groups, then pay-as-you-grow based on actual transactions and redemptions — never seat licenses. Costs scale with the value moving through your community, so budgets stay predictable and you're never paying for unused capacity.
We already have our own traditions and rules. Do we have to change them?+
No — that's the point. You configure rotation orders, approval rules, contribution cycles, and even the names of things to match how your community already works. The platform adapts to your culture, not the other way around.
Is our community's money safe?+
Funds move through licensed, regulated payment partners in each market. Group treasuries use member-visible ledgers and multi-approval payouts so no single person controls the pot, and failed transactions refund automatically.
Does it work across countries and currencies?+
Yes. Programs run across 50+ countries and 135+ currencies, with local payment rails and local redemption options in each. A diaspora network can fund in dollars while members redeem in naira, shillings, or pesos — with rates shown and locked before sending.
What about members without smartphones or reliable internet?+
Paymainly is built for the real world: fast on slow connections, tolerant of dropped signals, with SMS and USSD participation for members off the smartphone grid. No one in your community gets left out of its economy.
Can developers build on Paymainly?+
Yes — everything the platform does is available through an open API and SDKs, so teams with deep local context can build custom experiences on our rails. But no code is required: most communities launch entirely from the dashboard.
