Credit Co-operatives make it simple to get affordable loans for starting a business, covering an emergency, hospital bills, and other uses. Furthermore, its savings accounts encourage saving for the future and rainy days that require financial remedy.

If you are living in Kiambu County and its environs and you have less than perfect credit, joining a Sacco – a Savings and Credit Co-operative – will help you repair your financial situation not only because it promotes access to loans of lower interest rates than banks but also gives free wealth guidance to help you get into the savings habit and gain other healthy money management skills.

Unlike traditional banks, Saccos are not-for-profit financial institutions whose control is centered primarily on members who are the decision-makers on the type of products it should offer and its binding terms. This unlocks financial accessibility to all who have signed up as members to become shareholders of the Sacco.

In Kenya, the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) is the government body that plays the oversight function of Saccos by law. SASRA licenses all Saccos, both Deposit-Taking and Non-Deposit Taking, in the country.

Deposit-Taking Saccos are those that accept cash deposits from members, give out loans, and have other financial products, including checking and savings accounts. On the other hand, Non-Deposit Taking Saccos are much of loan-only entities that take deposits but do not accept withdrawals unless you take a loan or exit the Sacco.

SASRA advises that: “Members of the public are encouraged to confirm the status of any Sacco Society before transacting any business with such Sacco Society.”
