Chama software by iTach Technologies
Every shilling in the circle, accounted for.
Contributions, loans, expenses and member statements in one place — proper accounts behind every payment, approvals for every payout, and each member's balance on their own phone, at your chama's own web address.
1 chama runs on iTach Chama. Works on any phone, tablet or computer.
Everything your chama needs
Built from a real self-help group ledger and an accountant's checklist — not a spreadsheet with a login.
Members & officials
Register with ID, phone and next of kin. Roles for chair, treasurer, secretary, committee and auditor — each sees only what they should.
Contributions & arrears
Monthly and special contributions, effective-dated rates, exemptions and pay-ahead. Arrears calculate themselves; every payment gets a numbered receipt.
Loans that add up
Flat or reducing-balance products, guarantors, approvals, schedules, late charges, early settlement and restructuring.
Real accounting
Every shilling posts a balanced double-entry journal. Trial balance, income & expenditure, balance sheet and cashbook always agree.
Cash, bank & M-Pesa
Separate books for each account, transfers that never inflate income, and reconciliation against your statements.
SMS to members
Receipts, loan disbursements and login details by SMS through the iTach SMS gateway.
Member self-service
Members log in on their phone to see savings, loans, due dates and receipts — and apply for loans.
Bring your Excel ledger
Upload the workbook you already keep. It is checked against your totals, then posted as opening balances in one approved step.
Your chama, at your own address
Members never see a shared platform — they open your chama's page with your name, logo and colours.
How it works
Register
Group details, your web address, the administrator login. Two minutes. Your records are private to your chama.
Set your rules, bring your Excel
Contribution types and loan products, then upload your ledger. Check the totals and post opening balances.
Officials record, members see
The treasurer records payments and receipts go out by SMS; the chair approves loans and expenses; members follow their own statement.
