How it works

Set up in minutes, trusted for years

1

Create your group

Set the contribution amount, the schedule and the loan rules. Invite members by phone or link.

2

Record as you go

The treasurer records contributions and repayments. Each one posts to a shared ledger.

3

Everyone stays informed

Members see their own status. The committee sees the whole picture. Nothing stays hidden.

Core capabilities

What a savings group actually needs

Contributions

Weekly, biweekly or monthly schedules. Partial, late, missed and overpaid, all tracked.

Loans and interest

Eligibility rules, approvals, flat or declining interest, and repayment schedules worked out for you.

Double-entry ledger

Every franc is traceable. Balances come from the transactions, so they are never overwritten.

Roles and permissions

Treasurer, chairperson, secretary and auditor each see what fits their role.

Reports and exports

Contribution, loan and cash-flow views, plus member statements. Export to CSV.

Audit log

Every sensitive action is recorded: who did it, when, and what changed.

Made for your committee

Everyone sees exactly what their role needs

One record, many views. Each person on the committee gets the picture that fits their job — no more, no less.

For the treasurer

Record contributions, repayments and fines in seconds. The ledger does the arithmetic and never double-posts.

For the chairperson

See the whole group at a glance — cash on hand, loans out, who has paid — and approve requests with a clear trail.

For every member

Check your own savings, loans and next due date any time, in your own language, from any phone.

Security & trust

Your group’s money, protected by design

Kibina is built the way banking software is built. Balances are derived from transactions, not typed in. Nothing sensitive is left to a shared notebook or a group chat.

Group money and member money are kept in separate ledgers
Corrections post an adjustment — history is never quietly edited
Every role is checked on the server before any action runs
A complete audit log records who did what, and when
Financial transparency

Built like financial software, because it is.

Group money and member money stay separate. Corrections add an adjustment rather than a silent edit. The server checks every action.

FAQ

Questions groups ask

Does it work on a basic phone?

Yes. Kibina is built mobile-first and runs in any modern browser. Members mostly view their own status while the treasurer does the recording.

How are Mobile Money payments handled?

A treasurer records cash, Mobile Money or bank payments with a reference. The payment layer is built so a live Mobile Money connection can be added later without changing how the group works.

Can members see each other’s money?

Only what your group allows. Each member sees their own detailed record and a group summary you configure. Sensitive data stays protected.

What happens at the end of the year?

You close the cycle. Kibina works out the settlement figures and archives the cycle. Past records stay available, and nothing is deleted.
