# How To Create Group Saving Account

**Saving Accounts** can be created for an entire group, rather than creating one for every single client. The **Group Saving Account** is shared between all the members of the Group. This allows all the members of the Group to do all types of transactions (including Deposits and Withdrawals).

### **Creating Group Saving Account**

1. Click on **Clients** on the top menu bar, and click on **Groups** in the sub-menu that appears.

&#x20; 2\. This will display a page with a list of all the Groups as shown in the screenshot below.

&#x20; 3\. Find the Group you wish to add the Group Saving Application for (*use the Search bar at the top, if necessary*) and click on its **Name**. This will display the Group Profile.
