Getting Started

Everything you need to create your account, set up your group, and get your first members in.

1. Create your account

Head to app.kashround.com/register and fill in your name, username, email, phone number (include your country code, e.g. +256701234567), date of birth, and a password.

After you submit, KashRound emails you a 6-digit verification code. Enter it on the verification screen, if it doesn't arrive within a minute, use the resend option. Codes expire, so request a fresh one rather than reusing an old code.

2. Create your first group

Once you're signed in, click Create a Group from your dashboard. You'll be asked for:

  • Group name and address
  • Country, district, and state/province (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania supported)
  • When the group was founded
  • Whether it's an officially registered organization (this reveals a registration date and certificate upload)
  • A short description

You'll also pick a plan at this point. New groups start on the free Starter tier by default, you can switch plans anytime from Settings.

3. Join an existing group instead

If someone has already created your group, click Join a Group on your dashboard. You have two options:

  • Paste the invite link your admin shared with you
  • Enter the 8-character invite code directly (e.g. KR4X9MBW)

4. Finish setting up your group

A new group needs three things configured before it's fully usable: a savings product, a loan product, and an investment type. A social/welfare fund is created automatically.

Admins see a "Finish setting up your group" checklist on the dashboard until all three are added, each item links straight to the right tab in Settings. Members can't record contributions, apply for loans, or add investments until the relevant product exists, if a member tries first, KashRound tells them to ask their group leader to finish setup.
