Pardna. Perfect for a group of people, friends, family or co-workers. Deposit regular sums of money over a fixed interval with a principle individual known as the 'Banker'. The money then goes into a central fund. Each person in the Pardna will take a turn with withdrawing all that money in the fund. For example, if ten pardnas pay in $10 each week over the next 10 weeks, the banker will pay $100 ( the draw ) to one pardner. This is done each week until every pardner member has taken part in the draw. Download Pardna now to get started.
