Overview

Built around how Kenyan SACCOs and chamas really work

Whether you’re a chama of twenty members or a SACCO with several branches, the questions are the same: who has paid, who owes, how much can each member borrow, and what is this year’s dividend? Spreadsheets and paper ledgers make those questions slow and risky to answer.

Members contribute by M-Pesa using their member number, and the system posts each payment to the right account and sends a confirmation. Loans follow your rules: limits as a multiple of savings, guarantors, interest methods, repayment schedules and penalties, with approvals by the credit committee.

Members check balances and statements on their phones or by SMS, and officials get the reports they need for meetings, audits and returns. Add a staff AI assistant that knows your by-laws and loan policy, or a WhatsApp chatbot for member questions.

FAQ

SACCO system FAQs

Still wondering about something? Ask us on WhatsApp.

Can members deposit and repay loans by M-Pesa?

Yes. Members pay to your Paybill with their member number as the account, and the payment posts to their savings or loan automatically. Loans can also be sent to members’ phones through M-Pesa B2C, subject to Safaricom approval.

Can it follow our own loan rules?

Yes. Loan products are set up with your limits, interest method, repayment period, guarantor rules and penalties, and any change goes through an approval.

Does it work for a small chama?

Yes. Chamas use the same core of contributions, loans, fines and statements, without the branch and regulatory features a large SACCO needs.

Can it help with SASRA reporting?

It keeps the loan book, deposits and arrears records that those returns draw on, and exports them for your accountant. Specific report formats are added as part of your project.

Can we import our old records?

Yes. We import member balances, shares and running loans from your spreadsheets or old system, and reconcile them with your treasurer before going live.
