How it works
Tallyr fits into how your group already works. No new accounts, no app installs, no change of habit for anyone.
Add Tallyr to your existing WhatsApp group and type /setup. Paste your member list. Then connect your Gmail or email account — takes 30 seconds. Members change nothing.
Zelle, CashApp — same as always. No app. No link to click. No registration. The person who hates technology in your group? They'll never know Tallyr exists. Members can opt out of notifications at any time with one tap.
The moment money lands, that member gets a private confirmation. Every payment. Automatically. Your Sunday evening is yours again.
Transparent by design
Tallyr watches the Treasurer's bank inbox directly — no forwarding, no email rules to set up. Here's exactly what Tallyr reads — and what it deliberately ignores.
Your account balance, password, and transaction history are never read or stored. Tallyr extracts only the sender name and amount from the notification text — nothing else passes through our system.
Automatic matching
Every payment matched to the right member by the name on their bank's notification — no manual entry, no spreadsheet update, no guessing.
Zelle & CashApp both supported. Matched by the name on your bank's notification.
Unmatched payments queued for Treasurer review — nothing gets lost.
Instant private DM confirms the member's contribution — so they never have to ask.
The neutral third party
The hardest part of running a chama isn't the money — it's the awkwardness of chasing friends. Tallyr sends the reminders on your behalf so you stay the friend, not the collector.
Automated reminders go out as the deadline approaches — sent by Tallyr, not you.
Full audit trail means there's never a "but I paid!" dispute.
Members can dispute a missed match directly in WhatsApp — no Treasurer involvement needed.
Zero disruption
Tallyr doesn't touch the money. Your group keeps using Zelle and CashApp exactly as before. Tallyr handles what nobody wants to do — the record-keeping.
Zelle — matched by the name on your bank's notification.
CashApp — matched by the name on your bank's notification.
Tallyr never holds funds. All money moves directly between your members.
What the group sees
Every few hours, Tallyr posts a single warm update to the group thanking recent payers and showing the running tally. One tidy message instead of a stream of notifications.
Batched every 6 hours — no notification spam every time someone pays.
Running paid/total count so everyone knows where the group stands.
Social, not transactional. A thank-you, not a ledger printout.
When every hour matters
Bereavement funds move fast. A family needs remittance in 48 hours, not 48 days. Tallyr tracks every contribution from the first message — so the Treasurer can focus on the family, not the spreadsheet.
From the moment a case is opened, every contribution is tracked and confirmed in real time.
What treasurers say
Finally, a way to track our family's funeral fund without 50 people texting me 'Did you get my Zelle?' every hour. I used to dread being Treasurer. Now I just check the audit and move on with my day.
Our merry-go-round was a mess every month. Now I just send the audit and everyone goes quiet. No arguments, no confusion.
I was Treasurer for 3 years and I was done. Tallyr gave me my Sunday evenings back. I didn't realise how much mental space this was taking.
Privacy & Security
Financial group data is sensitive. Tallyr handles it the way a trusted institution would.
All personal data is AES-256 encrypted before storage. Names, phone numbers, aliases — never kept in plaintext.
Tallyr is a coordination tool, not a payment processor. All funds flow directly between your members.
Tallyr extracts only the sender name and amount from payment notifications. Your balance and history are never accessed.
Your group's data is never sold, rented, or shared with advertisers or data brokers. Ever.
Any member can request deletion at any time. Groups can wipe all records when a fund closes.
TLS 1.3 throughout. WhatsApp Flow interactions use RSA-OAEP + AES-GCM — the same standard used by banks.
We built Tallyr because we were tired of the 'Did you get my Zelle?' texts in our own family groups. We believe Diaspora communities deserve tools that respect our traditions and our time.
