Village Banking System

Run a savings group without a single paper ledger

Comprehensive village banking and microfinance management for community savings groups, SACCOs and microfinance institutions across Zambia and the wider region.

Who it is for

  • Community savings groups (chilimba)
  • SACCOs and cooperatives
  • Microfinance institutions
  • Employer-run staff savings schemes

Village banking, or chilimba, runs on trust and arithmetic, and the arithmetic is where groups lose confidence in each other. The Village Banking System replaces the exercise book: it tracks every member, every contribution, every loan and every repayment, and it computes interest, share-outs and standing balances the same way every cycle.

Members & groups

Full member registers with contribution history, joining dates, roles and standing per cycle.

Savings & shares

Contributions recorded per meeting, with share values and balances that reconcile automatically.

Loans & repayments

Loan issue, interest calculation, repayment schedules and arrears tracking for every borrower.

Cycle share-out

End-of-cycle distribution computed from real contributions, transparent and reproducible.

Audit trail

Every transaction attributable, timestamped and impossible to quietly amend.

Works on any device

Usable from a phone at a meeting or a desktop in the office, on the connections groups actually have.
