Digital paluwagan
and group savings
for Filipinos
Run a bubu with transparent tracking and automatic reminders, or pool toward a shared Goal Fund. Every peso tracked. Every member informed.
What is Bubu?
Bubu is our name for paluwagan
Paluwagan is a long-running Filipino tradition where a group pools money together and takes turns receiving the pot. Bubu brings that same concept online with full transparency, automatic reminders, and no middleman holding your funds.

Two ways to save together
Whether your group does the classic paluwagan or you're saving toward a shared goal, Bubu has you covered.
Rotating savings
Bubu
The app's digital take on paluwagan. Everyone contributes a fixed amount each cycle, and one member receives the full pot. This rotates until everyone has had their turn.
- check Fixed contributions per cycle
- check Admin sets the payout order
- check Full payment tracking & reminders
Shared goal
Goal Fund
Pool contributions toward any shared goal: a group trip, team outing, community project, or anything your group is working toward together.
- check Set a target amount & track progress
- check Members contribute at their own pace
- check Everyone sees the same running total
