Groups and pools

Create a group, start a pool, and see who's put in what.

Written by Kehbar

Groups

You can create a group for your choir, your flatmates or an alumni association. Choose Start, then Create a group, and you become the group creator.

Each group has its own members and activity. People in your groups aren't added to your friends. Only the creator can add or remove people and start a pool. Members can leave a group, but not while they're in an active pool.

Pools

A pool is a group putting money towards one goal, such as a wedding, a gift, a burial or a trip.

The creator starts a pool with New pool on the group page, or with Start, then Start a pool, and gives it:

  • a name for the goal

  • a target, if you want one

  • a deadline, if you want one

Everyone in the pool sees the same numbers:

  • Target: the amount you're collecting towards.

  • Contributed: the contributions that have arrived.

  • In the pool: what's been contributed, minus what's been withdrawn.

  • Withdrawn: what the creator has taken out.

You can see what each person has put in, for example "Amaka contributed ₦25,000" or "5 of 8 have contributed". Kehbar never shows anyone to the group as late or owing.

Contributing

In the pool, choose Contribute. You can pay through Kehbar, or pay another way and record it. See Pay through Kehbar and Record a payment made outside Kehbar.

Withdrawing and closing

Money stays in the pool until the creator withdraws it. Only the creator can withdraw, and they need to verify their identity and add a bank account first. See Verify your identity and add a bank account. The creator also closes the pool when it's done.
