Public update

Faster performance, clearer records, better communication.

A donor- and partner-facing summary of what changed and why it matters.

Treasurer and admin dashboards are now faster thanks to behind-the-scenes performance improvements. Transaction history has been strengthened so every repayment, interest charge, and top-up is accurately reflected, giving groups a clear and reliable financial picture.

WhatsApp notifications are cleaner, more readable, and aligned to each group's local timezone. Most importantly, repayment notifications now always use the correct village bank WhatsApp number, ensuring members never miss critical updates.

These improvements reinforce the mission: bank-grade clarity, accountability, and accessibility for village banking without losing the simplicity that makes community finance work.
