Modern Chama System for Kenyan Groups

Digitize your savings group — table banking, merry-go-round, or hybrid — and track contributions, loans, fines, and payouts in one secure, transparent system.

About Us

Built for Kenyan Saving Groups

Kosalo is a digital platform that helps savings groups manage contributions, loans, payouts, and member records — whether you run a table banking, merry-go-round, or hybrid group.

We know how hard it is to keep accurate records by hand. Kosalo replaces the guesswork with a simple tool that keeps every contribution, loan, and payout organized and visible to your members.

Our goal is simple: help Kenyan savings groups save time, build trust, and focus on what matters most — saving together.

Kosalo keeps your records accurate, transparent, and secure, while you keep running your group the way you always have.
