The platform for Kenyan chamas

One platform.
Every chama, its own home.

mychama isn't one group's app — it's the platform behind thousands of them. Your chama gets a private workspace for contributions, loans, and decisions, completely separate from every other group on the platform.

Private by default No app install needed Built around M-Pesa

Thousands of chamas. Zero shared data.

Every chama that signs up gets its own private workspace — its own members, ledger, and rules. No group can see another's numbers, and nothing here needs a chama of your own to manage.

Three illustrative chamas, three completely separate workspaces — same platform, no cross-visibility.

How mychama works

Three steps, one shared record — per chama.

The same rhythm your chama already runs on, inside a workspace only your members can see.

01 · Save

Contribute on schedule

Every member's contribution is logged the moment it lands. mychama tracks who's paid, who's due, and sends the reminder before the meeting — not after the excuse.

02 · Grow

Put the pot to work

Group funds sit in one ledger everyone in your chama can see. Members request loans with guarantors, the committee votes, and interest is tracked automatically.

03 · Achieve

Reach the target, together

Land, school fees, a business, a wedding — whatever your chama is saving toward, there's a full paper trail nobody has to reconstruct at year end.

What's inside

Built for how chamas actually run.

Not a generic budgeting app repurposed for groups — every feature maps to a role or a decision your chama already has.

Contribution ledger

A running balance per member and per round, updated the moment a payment is confirmed.

Loans, requested and voted

Members apply, the committee approves, and interest plus repayment schedules track themselves.

Guarantors, in-app

A member nominates guarantors for a loan, and they accept or decline right from their own account.

M-Pesa, built in

Members pay by STK push straight from their phone. Every transaction reconciles automatically.

Meetings & minutes

Agenda, resolutions, and who showed up — logged and searchable months later.

Voting & decisions

Put a proposal to the group with a configurable threshold, and keep the outcome on record.

Roles that match your group

Chairperson, treasurer, secretary, member — each sees exactly what their role needs.

Reminders that land on time

An SMS or WhatsApp nudge before a contribution is due — not after it's the running joke.

Inside a chama's workspace

One record. No side WhatsApp group to double-check it.

Every member of a chama opens the same numbers the treasurer sees. Disputes get shorter when the record is the record — and it never leaves that chama's workspace.

For your group

One home for every kind of chama.

Whatever your group calls itself, the mechanics are the same — contribute, decide together, track it properly. Each type gets its own workspace on the platform.

01

Rotating / table-banking

Contributions rotate to one member at a time, with short-term loans tracked round by round.

02

Investment chamas

Pooled capital for land, shares, or a joint venture — with a clean audit trail as it grows.

03

Welfare & merry-go-round

Turn-based payouts for members, with everyone able to see whose turn is next.

04

SACCO subgroups

A smaller circle inside a larger SACCO that still needs its own clear, separate books.

Pricing

Simple pricing, per chama.

Every chama on the platform picks its own plan, based on how many members it has. Upgrade or downgrade any time — no long-term contract.

Questions

Before you start your chama's workspace.

Can other chamas see our records?

No. Each chama is its own private workspace on the platform — members, ledger, meetings, and loans are visible only to people you've added to your chama. Platform staff don't browse chama financial data as a matter of course.

How do members actually pay in?

A member taps "Contribute," enters the amount, and confirms an M-Pesa STK push on their phone. The payment is reconciled to the ledger automatically — no forwarded M-Pesa messages or manual entry by the treasurer.

We currently run everything on a notebook or a spreadsheet — is switching hard?

Setting up a new chama takes a few minutes: add your members, set your contribution amount and schedule, and you're recording from that day forward. We're happy to help import your existing member list.

What happens if our treasurer or chairperson changes?

Roles are assigned to the workspace, not tied to one person's device. Hand the treasurer role to a new member and their access updates immediately — the ledger history stays intact.

Is there a contract, or can we cancel any time?

Plans are billed monthly per chama, and you can change plans or cancel at any time. Your records remain exportable even if you decide to move on.

Ready to grow together?

Set up your chama's private workspace in a few minutes. Plans start at KSh 2,500/month for up to 30 members.
