Feature tour

Everything below is live in the platform today — and all of it is loaded with sample data in the demo chama, so you can see each feature working rather than take our word for it.

Money in

Contributions

M-Pesa STK push (member gets a PIN prompt), direct paybill payments that auto-match by phone number, cash/bank entries by the treasurer, and CSV import for your old records. Every entry shows who, when, how, and for which month.

M-Pesa QR & standing orders

Generate a QR code members scan to pay, or set up automatic monthly deductions (M-Pesa Ratiba) so contributions collect themselves.

Automatic reminders

Members who haven't paid by the 28th get a WhatsApp reminder with the exact amount and paybill details. No more chasing people one by one.

Money out

Loans

Members apply in-app; guarantors confirm digitally; the committee sees an AI risk assessment based on the applicant's actual contribution history; approval and M-Pesa disbursement happen in two clicks. Repayment schedules, reminders (including a phone call for seriously overdue loans), and automatic defaulter flagging are built in.

Welfare fund

Define cover tiers (e.g. Bronze/Silver/Gold with different monthly premiums and claim limits, covering spouse/children/parents). Members claim with a reason and documents; leaders approve; payment goes out via M-Pesa.

Merry-go-round (ROSCA)

Set the rotation order, pot amount and schedule. Everyone sees whose turn it is, who has received, and what's coming to them — the number-one source of chama disputes, solved with transparency.

Year-end share-out

The platform computes each member's payout from their share count automatically, tracks who has been paid, and records M-Pesa references for each payout.

Decisions & accountability

Resolutions & voting

Put any decision to a formal vote with a deadline and quorum. Every member votes from their own phone; results and the voting record are permanent.

Meetings

Schedule meetings (physical or virtual with Google Meet links), track attendance, and let the AI turn the secretary's bullet points into formal minutes.

Reports & audit trail

Monthly summaries, member statements, KRA-ready income figures, and one-click export to Google Sheets. Every action on the platform is logged — who did what, when.

Penalties

Late-payment fines are issued, tracked, paid or formally waived — with the reason on record.

Growth

Investments

Track NSE shares, money market funds, bonds, SACCO deposits and property with price history and current valuations.

Projects

Run group ventures (poultry, rentals, transport) with business canvases, budgets, milestones and progress updates.

Goals

Set targets like a land purchase — progress updates automatically as contributions come in.

Inter-chama network

Partner with other chamas on bigger opportunities: joint investments, syndicates with proportional contributions, voting and payouts.

Escrow & safe trading

Buying land or equipment from a stranger? Funds sit in escrow until both sides confirm delivery. Disputes go to licensed mediators under the AJS framework (Alternative Justice Systems Act).
