Questions
Common questions
Who is Deca for?
Cooperative societies in Nigeria, such as thrift, savings and loan cooperatives. Officers run the cooperative on the web, and members follow their own money in the mobile app.
Can one officer record a payment and approve it too?
No. Every entry needs a second officer to approve it, so nobody approves their own work. Deca also keeps a record of who recorded and who approved each entry.
How is loan interest worked out?
Each cooperative sets its own rate, for example ₦15 for every ₦1,000 borrowed, each month. When a loan is given, Deca saves the repayment schedule so the member and the officers see the same dates and amounts.
What can members do in the app?
See their savings, loans and payments, apply for a loan, and get a notification when something changes on their account.
Is our members' information safe?
Yes. Member information is protected. Deca's own staff use two-step sign-in, and the audit trail shows who did what and when.
