Frequently Asked Questions About SACCOs

What is a SACCO in Kenya?

A SACCO (Savings and Credit Co-operative) is a member-owned financial institution that pools savings from members and provides loans at competitive rates. Kenya has over 5,000 registered SACCOs, with 176+ deposit-taking SACCOs regulated by SASRA (Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority).

How do I join a SACCO in Kenya?

To join a SACCO: (1) Choose one that matches your profession or community. (2) Fill out a membership application form. (3) Pay the registration fee and minimum share capital. (4) Provide your national ID and passport photo. (5) Some SACCOs require a guarantor or employer letter.

What is the average SACCO dividend rate in Kenya?

SASRA reports an average dividend of 10.00% on share capital for regulated SACCOs in 2025 (10.46% in 2024), and 10.21% for deposit-taking SACCOs. The average interest paid on members' deposits was 6.72%. Source: SASRA SACCO Supervision Annual Report 2025.

Are SACCOs safe in Kenya?

Deposit-taking SACCOs licensed by SASRA are regulated and must meet capital adequacy and liquidity requirements. Always verify that a SACCO is SASRA-licensed before depositing money. Non-deposit-taking SACCOs are regulated by the Commissioner for Co-operatives.

What is the difference between FOSA and BOSA?

FOSA (Front Office Savings Activity) operates like a bank branch where you can deposit, withdraw, and transfer money. BOSA (Back Office Savings Activity) handles long-term savings through salary check-off and provides loans based on your savings multiplier.

How much can I borrow from a SACCO?

Most SACCOs lend 2-4 times your total savings. For example, if you have KES 500,000 in savings and your SACCO offers a 3x multiplier, you can borrow up to KES 1,500,000. Loan rates typically range from 10-14% p.a. on reducing balance.
