How it works

Your group, running in six simple steps

The same flow a well-run chama already follows — register, agree your rules, contribute, and stay accountable.

  1. 1

    Register with your phone

    Sign up with your phone number and a one-time code by SMS. No email, no documents — your identity is your number plus the trust of your group.

  2. 2

    Create or join a group

    Start a social group or a savings group, then invite people by phone or a link. Savings groups choose a chama (pooled lending) or a merry-go-round (rotating payout).

  3. 3

    Agree your rules

    Your group sets the contribution amount and frequency, interest method, loan limits, payout order, and cycle length. The app enforces what you decide.

  4. 4

    Contribute & transact

    Pay in with an M-Pesa prompt, or let the treasurer record cash. Every payment posts to a shared, append-only ledger that everyone can see.

  5. 5

    Lend, rotate, or share out

    A chama lends the pool to members with interest and shares out at the end of the cycle. A merry-go-round pays the whole pot to one member each round.

  6. 6

    Stay accountable

    Open statements, contribution tracking, and elected office bearers keep the group honest — the way a well-run chama already works, only easier.

That's it — your group is running
