GSIM (Group Savings with Individual Monitoring) is a savings account structure designed for groups where each member has their own individual savings account, but all accounts are linked under a parent GSIM account. This allows groups to track individual member savings while maintaining a consolidated view.

How GSIM Works

GSIM creates a parent-child relationship between savings accounts:

• Parent GSIM Account: A container that groups all member accounts together
• Child Savings Accounts: Individual savings accounts, one for each group member

All child accounts share the same product, terms, and interest rates, but maintain separate balances.

When to Use GSIM

GSIM is suited for groups where individual savings tracking is required. Choose GSIM when group members need their own accounts, want to transact independently, or when individual accountability is important. Use standard group savings when the group operates as a single financial unit and individual tracking is not required.

Key Features

• Individual Account Numbers: Each member gets their own unique account number (derived from parent account)

• Bulk Operations: Create, approve, and activate all member accounts in one operation
