Here are some of the amazing features that are available to groups; - Complete Visibility to all members All members can see all the activity that takes place in the group. All transactions are listed and can be queried and searched for in real time. - Changeable Membership roles After a member has accepted the invitation to join a group, the officials can change that members' membership role to; chairperson, treasurer or mentor. There can be as many chairpersons and treasurers as the group wants. In fact, all members can be chairpersons and they can all have equal responsibilities in the group. And if the group needs some assistance from someone to guide them on their journey, the group can invite a member as a mentor. Mentors do not participate financially, but they have full visibility of all the activity in the group and can join the group chat, from inside the app. - Membership Statuses After a person has accepted an invitation to the group, they will become an active participant. Officials can change any members' membership status at any time to any of the following; Active, On-hold and Terminated.

Terminating a membership means that the member is no longer participating in the group whatsoever. Terminated and On-hold memberships may be re-activated at any time. - Group Goals Indicate your groups' goals, add a picture for inspiration and let everybody see how the group is progressing towards these goals. To allocate money to the goal is simple and straightforward. Simply indicate the amount to add to the goal, after which the groups available balance is reduced by this amount.
