It is a requirement by the Regulator that all SACCO’S have a minimum amount of share capital and therefore all Members should have some shares to qualify them to be part of the owners of the SACCO. In our case, KES. 50,000 has been set as the minimum amount to be maintained by every Member.
We have designed our system so that each Member must contribute a minimum KES. 50,000 in Share Capital before they can build up their deposits. Share Capital can be contributed in installments or in one lump sum by a Member.
A Member can increase his/her share capital by making a direct deposit to our bank account or a Funds transfer to our bank account.
Members are required to make monthly contributions of at least KES 2,300.
