Baroness. Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Pardner schemeA group of people regularly deposit sums of money over a fixed interval with a principal individual, the 'banker', in a central fund. Each person in the group takes a turn in withdrawing their 'hand', usually the total amount collected for that week or month. It tends to operate amongst friends, families or close groups of other kinds. It is more frequently used for saving for smaller purchases, usually in conjunction with other more formal borrowing or savings schemes.Although i've never known a hand to come in a week or month, more a couple months so you get back a monkey etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry babes, thought you were trying to par the pardnerThing is why don't people just set up automatic debit to put £20 into another account every a week etc...True but I suppose i'm more doing it for the 'tradition' thing. I've always seen the older women in the family do it, I remember being a yute and going with my marje to see 'Pardner Pauline' lol.Apparently they use/used it because when the carib's first came over, they either didn't really trust the banking system or weren't able to do it through them (without getting taxed?) and so they had the pardner system that they did within the community. It also means that you can get an advance by taking your hand before it's even due.ie. You've only been doing it 2 months and aint due your hand for 4 (let's say it comes every 6) you can take it then and get that amount, then continue to pay it back with you continuing to pay it.
