In conjunction with the Loan Performer desktop application, you can use the Loan Performer Web App starting with Version 8.17. and above. The Web App allows officers to enter new clients, deposits, withdrawals and loan applications, approvals, disbursements and repayments from the field. The menu items can be limited according to function as is the case with the desktop. It also has a couple of reports (Savers Statement, Savings Balances report, Loan Ledger Card, Outstanding Loans, Arrears, Portfolio at Risk, Ageing and Cash Transactions reports. The Web App can be accessed from any browser enabled device with a network connection to the Loan Performer database server. The network connection can be a LAN/WAN, VPN or Internet depending on how the web portal server is configured and the device can be a mobile phone, a tablet, a laptop or a computer.

Security
Security is of course a major concern. You would not want to expose your precious data to hackers. Apart from a SSL certificate for your website, we recommend you allow only certain devices to access your database. You can set this up in the Loan Performer desktop application and this way you can limit access to particular mobile phones, tablets, laptops or computers. And if a credit officer leaves the institution, you can disable access from his/her device. This can be managed by the microfinance institution.

LPF Web App Requirements
In case you want to offer this service to your clients, take note of the following:
