Question 1

What is village banking?

Accepted Answer

Village banking refers to Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), where members pool funds, save regularly, and provide loans to each other with interest. At cycle end, everyone shares profits proportionally. This differs from chilimba, a rotating savings model where one person takes the entire pot each meeting. ViB is built for VSLAs, handling the complex calculations that make manual record-keeping challenging.

How does the Village Banking System work?

Accepted Answer

The Village Banking System digitizes your group's financial operations: 1) Create your group and invite members, 2) Set up savings cycles (tenors) with custom rules, 3) Track member contributions and loan repayments automatically, 4) Generate reports and distribute profits at cycle end. No more paper records or manual calculations!

Question 7

How is profit distributed at the end of a tenor?

Accepted Answer

The system supports multiple profit distribution models: Equal Share (everyone gets the same), Account-Based (proportional to savings), Borrowing-Based (weighted by loan interest contributed), or Time-Based Accrual. Your group admin configures the model, and the system automatically calculates each member's share at tenor end.
