The e-Mali dashboard of a demo cooperative on a laptop: cash on hand, loans in arrears, members who have not paid this month and what is waiting to be checked

Members and savings

Record members, savings, shares and payments. Every payment carries its proof, such as a deposit slip or a MoMo message, and is checked by an officer before it counts.

  • Member register. Members, national IDs, automatic membership numbers, status history and exports.
  • Payments with proof. Attach a bank slip or MoMo message to every payment. A second person verifies it.
  • Savings and contributions. Monthly contributions, or savings daily, weekly or every two weeks. Track who is behind.
