The book is fragile. Trust shouldn’t be.

The treasurer’s notebook can be lost, disputed, or quietly changed. Members can’t easily see where they stand — and the honest treasurer carries the blame for every doubt. Stok-Vel makes the record shared, permanent, and tamper-evident, so members don’t have to trust the book — they can see it. Without changing how you save.

How it works

Everything the book should be

Private member wallets + live group total

Each member sees their own savings and the group's running total in real time.

Public drawdown board

Early withdrawals against your own savings are visible to the group — fair and transparent.

Three-admin model + floor rep

Treasurer, coordinator, secretary — with an optional floor representative overseeing them.

Announcements & replies

A group feed for meetings, reminders, and decisions — with threaded replies.

Monthly & year-end statements

Clean, printable statements — each member's own data, on demand.

Tamper-evident audit trail

Every admin action is timestamped, attributed, and visible to your floor rep.

Whatever your community calls it, it’s built for you

Any group of 5 to 200+ that pools and saves together — in any language, in any province.

Questions, answered plainly

Do you hold our money?

No. You keep your own bank account — we only keep the records. The app never receives, holds, or moves your savings.

Do we change how we run meetings?

No. Keep meeting and paying cash exactly as you do. We just replace the paper book.

Can members see each other's savings?

No — only your own, plus the group total. Drawdowns are shared on purpose, because they affect the group pot.
