Saving Goals
What it is
Section titled “What it is”A saving goal is a named target a member saves toward — a Hajj fund, an emergency fund, school fees — funded by a fixed amount moved from the main balance each cycle into a holding dedicated to that goal. The member watches the balance grow toward the target and releases it when ready.
Shariah basis
Section titled “Shariah basis”Held savings under Wadiah (safe-keeping), with Mudarabah (profit-sharing) where a goal is structured to share returns. No interest is paid on the held amount; growth, if any, comes from a compliant profit-share, not riba.
Who it is for
Section titled “Who it is for”- Members saving toward a specific target over time.
- Cooperatives and organizations collecting regular dues from members (the dues variant below).
Typical goals: a locked multi-year Hajj fund, a flexible emergency fund a member can withdraw anytime, an education fund an admin sets up for a member.
Key capabilities
Section titled “Key capabilities”- Named target with an amount and a timeframe.
- Scheduled auto-debit — a fixed amount moves from the main balance into the goal each cycle.
- Liquidity choice — locked (held until maturity) or loose (withdraw anytime).
- Pause / resume auto-debit without losing the goal.
- Manual top-up — an off-schedule one-time contribution.
- Withdraw the held amount back to the main balance.

How the money moves
Section titled “How the money moves”Funds shuttle between the main balance and the goal holding. Nothing leaves the platform until the member withdraws to a bank.

Variant — Cooperative dues
Section titled “Variant — Cooperative dues”The same engine powers cooperative dues (iuran): a recurring obligation a member owes their organization, rather than a personal target. The organization defines the monthly amount; the member pays it from their balance, and the app shows current-month progress — paid or outstanding. Dues can be settled straight from the main balance or topped up first through the payment gateway.
What you can configure
Section titled “What you can configure”- Goal types — offer personal goals, cooperative dues, or both.
- Liquidity rules — allow locked goals, loose goals, or restrict to one.
- Admin-managed goals — let org admins create and manage goals on behalf of members.
- Branding & language — the whole flow under your brand, in ID / EN / AR.
Limits
Section titled “Limits”- Auto-debit only runs when the main balance has funds; a short balance skips the cycle.
- The goal does not pull from external banks — funds come from the main balance.
- Locked goals hold funds until maturity by design.
Related
Section titled “Related”- Wallet & Payments — funds a goal and receives its withdrawals.
- Saving Circles — the group-savings counterpart.
