Chama software for Kenya

Run your chama's money with confidence.

Contributions, loans, expenses and member statements in one place — with proper accounts behind every shilling, approvals for every payout, and a portal where each member sees their own balance.

1 chama is already on the platform. Works on any phone, tablet or computer.

Everything your chama needs, in one platform

Built from a real self-help group ledger and an accountant's checklist — not a spreadsheet with a login.

01

Members & officials

Member register with ID, phone and next of kin, documents, membership history, and roles for chairperson, treasurer, secretary, committee and auditor.

02

Contributions & arrears

Monthly and special contributions with effective-dated rates, exemptions, pay-ahead, automatic arrears and numbered receipts.

03

Loans that add up

Loan products with flat or reducing-balance interest, guarantors, approvals, repayment schedules, penalties, early settlement and restructuring.

04

Real accounting

Every shilling posts a balanced double-entry journal. Trial balance, income & expenditure, balance sheet and cashbook — always in agreement.

05

Cash, bank & M-Pesa

Separate books for cash, bank and M-Pesa, transfers that never inflate income, and reconciliation to your statements.

06

Approvals & audit trail

Maker-checker approvals for loans and expenses, reversals instead of deletions, period locking and a full audit log.

07

Member self-service

Members log in on their phone to see savings, loans, due dates, receipts and statements — and apply for loans online.

08

Bring your Excel ledger

Upload your existing workbook into a staging area, check it against your totals, then post opening balances in one controlled step.

Built for every kind of chama

Pick your group type when you register. You set your own contribution amounts, loan rates, approval rules and fund types — the system does not assume them.

How it works

1

Register your chama

Fill in the group's details and create the administrator login. Your chama gets its own private space — no other group can see your records.

2

Set your rules, bring your data

Add contribution types and loan products, then upload your Excel ledger. Check the totals against your books and post your opening balances.

3

Officials record, members see

The treasurer records payments and issues receipts; the chair approves loans and expenses; every member logs in with their phone number to see their own statement.

Plans

Every chama starts with a 14-day free trial. Prices in Kenya shillings per month.
