What is inside Loans

The lending app is the deepest module in the suite. Every card below is a menu you will find in the live demo, not a roadmap item.

  • Appraisal and committee

    Applications, pipeline, loan calculator, collateral types, guarantors and committee meetings with a decision trail.

  • Group lending

    Centers, groups, cycles, meetings, social fund, fines, training and officer reports.

  • Collections

    Overdue loans, penalties, demand letters, collection sheets, legal cases and insurance claims, with auto demand-letter and overdue-notice crons.

  • Restructure, waive, write off

    Guided wizards to restructure a loan, waive a penalty, write off, and bulk approve or bulk disburse.

  • IFRS 9 ECL

    ECL staging, macro scenarios, vintage curves, roll-forward, provision adequacy PDF and provision history.

  • Portfolio reports

    PAR analysis and ageing, officer performance, product analysis, collection efficiency, disbursement register, maturity profile, large borrowers and concentration limits.

  • Identity documents and KYC checks attached to the member
  • Application, approval and activation on one record
  • Credit score and CRB report pulled from the same screen

Every channel, one ledger

Digital Banking and Payment Rails are two apps that share the member ledger. A USSD repayment, an instant bank transfer such as PesaLink and a card transaction land in the same books as the teller's cash.

  • USSD self-service

    Providers, a drag-and-drop menu builder, session log and audit trail. Ships a 'USSD: Custom Code Author' role.

  • WhatsApp and member portal

    Conversations, templated messages and portal loan applications.

  • Internet banking approvals

    iBANK pending transfers with OTP, reversal requests and standing instructions that fire when due.

  • Mobile money, multi-rail

    Member MoMo accounts, transaction dashboard and callback log across rails/providers.

  • PesaLink, RTGS and EFT

    New transfer wizard, transactions, disputes, reconciliation and daily camt.053 reconciliation cron.

  • Cards and open banking

    Card requests, hot-list, sponsor processors, third-party providers, consents and API call audit.

One member record, every check attached

Members carries KYC documents, fingerprint enrolment, AML watchlist screening, duplicate detection, credit score and group membership on one form. STR/CTR filings and goAML export sit in the same app, so the compliance officer never re-keys what the branch already captured.

  • Bills paid with M-Pesa from the same app
  • Cards blocked, replaced or re-PINned without a branch visit

Shares, cover and the board

Deposit-taking MFIs and digital banks need more than lending. Share capital, bancassurance and governance are apps in the suite, not add-ons.

  • Shares

    Purchase, rights issue, bonus issue, transfer, buyback, forfeiture, pledges and dividends, with certificates and a share register you can print.

  • Bancassurance

    Quote wizard, policies, claims, underwriters and a commission ledger; drivers for CIC and Britam, plus a generic REST underwriter.

  • Board and governance

    Directors, board meetings, resolutions, quarterly board pack, policy register, conflict disclosures and whistleblower log.

  • Data Warehouse

    Export pipelines to BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, S3 Parquet, SFTP CSV or HTTP POST, with lineage per batch.

Teller screens built for the queue

Deposit, withdrawal and transfer wizards post the receipt, the passbook line and the ledger entry in one action. Vaults, tills, cash-in-transit, EOD sessions and reconciliations live in the Cash Office menu; standing orders, interest and maintenance fees run on their own each night.

Savings — Teller workbench

Liquidity the board can see daily

Treasury & ALM computes LCR, NSFR, repricing gap and a 90-day cashflow projection on schedule, refreshes the live cash position from tills and vaults, and prints the ALM committee pack. MFI Accounting adds branch P&L snapshots, accounting periods and a month-end close wizard.

Credit and compliance

Every change on the record

  • Status changes logged with who, when and what
  • An audit trail ready for the regulator and the board
  • Reports straight from the ledger, not a spreadsheet

Regulator returns without the spreadsheet

Compliance & Reporting builds each regulator return from a template, screens members against watchlists and files suspicious and cash transaction reports to goAML. It also pulls and pushes credit-bureau files, runs IFRS 9 ECL, keeps the KYC vendor audit log and collects SOC 2 evidence. Country Packs add the return formats for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria.

Every return is a template

The CBK monthly return, the SASRA monthly and quarterly returns and the BoU monthly statistics sit beside the ratios they draw on, from net interest margin and capital adequacy to LCR, NSFR and PAR, each computed from the books and output as a table or XML.

Questions

Questions about Bridge MFI Suite

Not covered here? Contact us.

How is the Bridge MFI Suite priced?

Per member, per month, never per staff login: every plan carries unlimited users. The price is a $43.50 monthly platform base plus a member rate that falls as your book grows, from $0.204 a member for the first 500 members to $0.0225 a member above 50,000. MFI Core and Members are the free foundation, and Savings, Loans, Shares, MFI Accounting and Country Packs come at no extra charge; Treasury & ALM, Compliance & Reporting, Digital Banking, Payment Rails, Bancassurance and Data Warehouse each add a share of the member charge. The pricing page builds the exact monthly figure for your member count before you commit.

Can we bring our existing member, savings and loan books across?

Yes. Members ships an Import Members tool and a legacy member number field so old passbook numbers stay searchable. Savings and Loans accept opening balances and live schedules, and the go-live step in our onboarding is a guided data import with your team before tellers touch it.

Does it work with mobile money such as M-Pesa, Airtel Money and MTN MoMo?

Payment Rails is multi-rail: member MoMo accounts, push deposits, a callback log and an unmatched queue with reversals live in Savings. Digital Banking adds USSD, WhatsApp and a member portal so repayments can come in without a branch visit.

Which regulators and returns are covered?

Loans includes regulator classification and returns, such as the Central Bank of Kenya's PG/04 classification and SASRA returns, plus large borrowers and concentration limits. Compliance & Reporting handles credit-bureau pull and push, IFRS 9 ECL runs and KYC vendor audit. Country Packs add localised return formats for Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Nigeria.

We have several branches. Does the suite handle that?

MFI Core holds branches, zones/regions and branch types. Savings runs a vault, tills, cash-in-transit and EOD sessions per branch; MFI Accounting posts interbranch entries and a daily branch P&L; Loans and Members report by branch. Approval rules and two-person rules are configured centrally.

What happens when the branch loses internet?

BridgeERP is a hosted system, so tellers need a connection to post. Member-side channels (USSD, mobile money, WhatsApp) keep working through the telco, and every transaction that arrives while a branch is down lands in the ledger and the unmatched queue for the teller to reconcile when it reconnects.

How do IFRS 9 provisions get calculated?

Loans carries ECL staging, macro scenarios, vintage curves, roll-forward, provision history and a provision adequacy report. Auto PAR classification runs on schedule, and Compliance & Reporting stores each ECL run so the auditor can see the inputs behind every figure.

What does support and going live look like?

The free trial provisions a full environment with no credit card. When you are ready, our team runs the guided import, trains tellers and officers on the shipped roles (Teller, Officer, Supervisor, Credit Committee, Compliance, Manager, Administrator) and stays on support after go-live. Rollout, hosting and support are agreed with us directly.

Members, savings and loans — one ledger, one suite.

Everything from member onboarding to regulator returns, running on the same books — with a full audit trail behind every posting.
