Why microfinance needs its own collection layer
Generic LMS tools handle accounting. They weren't built for a field officer managing 8 centre meetings a week with patchy mobile data.

Microfinance collection app FAQ
What is a microfinance loan collection app?
A microfinance loan collection app helps MFIs and group-lending organisations manage the Branch→Centre→Group→Borrower collection hierarchy. Field officers use the app to see their centre-wise collection schedule, record weekly installments, accept UPI or cash payments, generate digital receipts and sync outstanding balances to the branch dashboard — all with offline capability for rural areas.
How does FastFee handle group loan (JLG/SHG) collection?
FastFee maps the lending hierarchy: Branch → Centre → Group → Borrower. Each group's weekly or monthly installment schedule is managed at the group level, with individual borrower ledgers tracking paid, partial and outstanding amounts. Centre-level collection reports show which groups are on track and which have missed payments.
Does the microfinance collection app work offline?
Yes. Field officers record installment collection, issue receipts and log missed payments without mobile internet. All data syncs to the branch server when connectivity is restored. This is essential for rural collection routes where 4G coverage is patchy.
Can FastFee send WhatsApp reminders for microfinance EMIs?
Yes. FastFee sends automated WhatsApp reminders to borrowers before and after each installment due date, with a UPI payment link for groups where digital payment is feasible. For groups that pay in cash, the field officer records the collection on the app and the receipt goes to the borrower via WhatsApp.
How does FastFee differ from a generic LMS for microfinance?
A generic LMS records disbursements and interest but doesn't manage field collection operations. FastFee is the collection layer: it manages the field officer's daily centre route, records weekly installments at the borrower level, generates group-wise and centre-wise outstanding reports, tracks missed installments and triggers follow-up sequences automatically — all in a mobile-first, offline-capable app.
Is FastFee suitable for small MFIs and cooperative credit societies?
Yes. FastFee works for MFIs at any scale — from a 200-borrower credit society to a multi-branch MFI with thousands of JLG groups. The branch→centre→group hierarchy and field officer app are built for the microfinance operating model regardless of AUM size.
Purpose-built for MFI collection. Not a generic loan app.
