Everything your group runs on paper, digitized

Built for the way Kenyan chamas actually work — and the rules they actually live by.

Pay with M-Pesa

One tap sends an STK push to the member's phone. The payment confirms itself and the receipt number lands in the ledger — no chasing, no receipts to file.

Merry-go-round on rails

Rotation order is automatic and visible to everyone. Members see who receives this month and exactly when their turn comes.

Rules that enforce themselves

Your constitution runs as code: late fines, grace days, loan caps and payout blocks fire automatically — every action logged with the rule that triggered it.

Loans with guardrails

Members apply from their phone. Eligibility is checked against savings and arrears before approval, and missed installments are flagged on schedule.

Reminders, not nagging

Members get a polite nudge before contributions fall due. Defaulters get flagged to the committee — the system keeps the peace.

Reports in one tap

Contributions, fines, loans and the cashbook export to CSV for meetings, auditors and the annual general meeting.

Up and running in minutes

No onboarding calls, no paperwork, no waiting.

01

Start your chama

Name your group, set the monthly contribution and the day it falls due. Sensible rules come pre-loaded — tweak them to match your constitution.

02

Invite by phone number

Share a code. Members join from any phone browser — no app store, no downloads. The chair, treasurer and members get their roles.

03

Pay with M-Pesa

Members pay from their phone and the books update themselves. Fines, reminders and payouts run on autopilot between meetings.

The ChamaHub constitution engine

Your constitution, enforced — not just written

Every chama has rules. Most are argued about in group chats. ChamaHub turns yours into an engine that runs the group fairly, between meetings, without anyone playing favourites.

  • Late fines and reminders applied on schedule, week after week
  • Loan caps enforced at the moment of application — 3× savings, KES 200,000 max
  • Merry-go-round payouts blocked while a member is in arrears
  • Monthly treasury report posted and logged automatically

Every automated action lands in your chama's ledger with the rule that fired and a notification to the members involved. The committee stays in control — the machine does the thankless work.

Questions chamas ask us

Do members need to install an app?

No. ChamaHub runs in any phone browser, and it works as an installable app on Android and iPhone. The M-Pesa STK push arrives on the member's own phone — they just enter their PIN.

Where does our money actually go?

Straight to your chama's M-Pesa till or paybill — the same account you use today. ChamaHub never holds or touches your funds. We record the payment, keep the books and reconcile everything automatically.

How do payments get reconciled?

M-Pesa confirms every transaction instantly. The contribution is marked paid with its receipt number, the cashbook updates, and the member gets a notification — the treasurer never has to chase anyone for a screenshot.

What happens when someone pays late?

The rules you set decide: grace days first, then automatic fines, reminders and arrears flags — all applied on schedule and logged in the ledger so the committee can see exactly what happened and why.

Can we keep using our paper records?

For as long as you like. Every report — contributions, fines, loans, cashbook — exports to CSV for meetings and auditors. Most chamas retire the exercise book within a month.

Who can see our data?

Only your members. Contributions, fines and payouts are visible to the group; loan details are visible to the committee. Every rule change and automated action is logged, so there are no surprises.

Get your chama off the exercise book

Set up in two minutes. Your first M-Pesa contribution will reconcile itself before the group chat even notices.
