Let members deposit cheques without the journey
SACCOs feel cheque handling differently from banks: fewer staff, members spread further out, and every query landing on the same desk. This page is written for that.
- To start
- No integration
- Staff training
- One session
- Decision authority
- Stays with you
Three pressures we hear from SACCOs
Members travel to deposit
A member holding a cheque has to reach an office during working hours. For members outside town, that is a day lost to a single transaction.
A small team absorbs every cheque
SACCOs rarely have a dedicated cheque desk. The same few staff handle intake, verification and member queries on top of everything else.
Records live in more than one place
When a member asks where their cheque is, answering it means checking a book, a spreadsheet and someone's memory.
Four things that are different afterwards
Stated as mechanisms, not percentages — we have not run a SACCO pilot yet and will not invent the numbers from one.
Members deposit from where they are
Capture happens on the member's phone. No travel, no office hours, no queue — and the SACCO still controls what happens next.
Your staff work one list
Every submission lands in a single queue with the fields already extracted and the checks already run. Staff confirm rather than transcribe.
Member questions answer themselves
Members see their own cheque status live, which removes most of the calls asking where a cheque has got to.
One record per cheque
Capture, checks, decision and timing all sit on a single timestamped record instead of across three systems.
Whether this is worth your time
We would rather you self-select out now than discover it three weeks into a pilot.
A good fit if
- Members regularly travel to deposit cheques
- A small team handles cheque intake alongside other duties
- You want member self-service without building an app
- You need a clean record for queries and disputes
Probably not yet if
- You handle only a handful of cheques a month
- You need deep core-system integration on day one
- You are looking for automated approval without review
- Your members would not use a smartphone app
Scope
Your SACCO keeps the decision and the member relationship
MobiCheque captures and verifies. It holds no member accounts, moves no funds, and approves nothing on its own. Every cheque is decided by your staff, and the member stays yours throughout.
Start with a small pilot
A few hundred cheques over a few weeks, run alongside your current process, is enough to know whether this works for your members.
