The Chama app from Stanbic Bank puts the power in your hands to manage your group the way that you, as a group chooses to.

Here are some of the amazing features that are available to groups;
- Complete Visibility to all members
All members can see all the activity that takes place in the group. All transactions are listed and can be queried and searched for in real time.
- Changeable Membership roles
After a member has accepted the invitation to join a group, the officials can change that members' membership role to; chairperson, treasurer or mentor.
There can be as many chairpersons and treasurers as the group wants. In fact, all members can be chairpersons and they can all have equal responsibilities in the group.
And if the group needs some assistance from someone to guide them on their journey, the group can invite a member as a mentor. Mentors do not participate financially, but they have full visibility of all the activity in the group and can join the group chat, from inside the app.
- Membership Statuses
After a person has accepted an invitation to the group, they will become an active participant. Officials can change any members' membership status at any time to any of the following; Active, On-hold and Terminated.
Changing a members' membership status to On-hold, means that the member is temporarily not participating in the group's activities.
Terminating a membership means that the member is no longer participating in the group whatsoever.
Terminated and On-hold memberships may be re-activated at any time.
- Group Goals
Indicate your groups' goals, add a picture for inspiration and let everybody see how the group is progressing towards
