Group contributions

Manage group contributions without the spreadsheet

Kwessa keeps your group’s contributions in order: each member’s dues raised on time, every MoMo, bank or cash payment recorded once with its own receipt, and a list of who is behind that is always right. Members check their own figures on WhatsApp.

The problem today

  • Payments arrive by MoMo, bank and cash, and the treasurer matches screenshots in the group chat by hand.
  • The contribution sheet lives on one laptop, and nobody else can say who is behind.
  • Members ask the treasurer for their balance, one message at a time.
  • Receipts are written in a book, or not at all.

How it works on Kwessa

  1. 1

    Bring your sheet in

    Import your member list and past contributions from Excel or CSV. Kwessa checks every row and imports only a clean sheet, so the records start right.

  2. 2

    Set the contribution plan

    Pick the amount and how often it is due: weekly, monthly or another schedule. Kwessa raises each member’s contribution on the day, and pays the oldest one first when money comes in.

  3. 3

    Record each payment once

    MoMo, bank transfer or cash, each payment is recorded once against the member. A member who pays ahead has the next months paid at once.

  4. 4

    Members report payments on WhatsApp

    A member pastes the MoMo message, or sends a screenshot, to the group’s WhatsApp number. It waits in the treasurer’s payment queue, and nothing is recorded until the treasurer confirms it.

  5. 5

    A receipt for every payment

    Each payment gets its own receipt number, and the PDF goes to the member by email, or on WhatsApp if the group turns that on.

  6. 6

    Know who is behind

    The arrears list is always current. Reminders go out on WhatsApp on the days you pick, and late fines follow the rules your group agreed.

  7. 7

    Reports in a click

    Contributions, the cash book and the income statement print as PDF or Excel, and every member can download their own statement.
