What should a chama management software do?
Chama management involves much more than recording monthly contributions. ChamaConnect brings the main activities of a savings group into one platform.
Member management
Keep member information and financial activity organised in one place.
Members can access their own information and transactions, while authorised office bearers can manage the records required to run the group.
This creates a central digital member record instead of relying on separate notebooks or spreadsheets.
Automated chama contributions
Members can make contributions through the Contribute Now button on their dashboard.
With the M-Pesa payment setup configured, the transaction can be completed digitally and the contribution recorded in the system.
Treasurers can also enter M-Pesa transactions made outside the system. ChamaConnect can then prompt the treasurer to allocate the payment to the appropriate approved wallets.
Chama loan management
ChamaConnect also manages the lending process.
Your group can set its borrowing rules, such as allowing members to borrow up to a specific multiple of their savings.
Members can apply for loans, appoint guarantors and receive updates through the digital system. Guarantors can accept or deny requests, while authorised office bearers can review and approve loans before disbursement.
Loan information, repayment activity and outstanding balances remain available within the system.
Wallets, savings and group goals
Your chama may be saving for several things at the same time.
ChamaConnect allows the group to organise contributions into approved wallets for different purposes.
A wallet could be used for an investment goal such as purchasing a chama matatu, a loan repayment, fines, welfare or another group-approved purpose.
This makes it easier to see where the group's money is going.
Dividends and member financial records
ChamaConnect can also help the group manage member financial records and dividend-related activities.
Instead of calculating and maintaining everything in separate files, the group has a central digital record of member activity that can support its financial management and reporting.
Office bearer roles and verification
A chama needs more than one person to have control over its records.
ChamaConnect supports office bearer roles and verification levels, allowing responsibilities to be distributed according to the group's structure.
For example, a treasurer can enter a transaction while another authorised office bearer reviews and approves it.
This creates checks around important financial records instead of allowing every change to become an accepted record immediately.
Chama records on blockchain
One of the key differences with ChamaConnect is its use of blockchain technology.
The platform records chama information on a blockchain-based infrastructure, creating a more transparent and tamper-resistant record of group activity.
This can provide an additional layer of accountability when managing contributions, transactions and other important financial records.
