What Is a Sacco?

A Saccos is formed when people with a common goal come together to create a financial institution that serves their needs.

For example, a group of farmers who want access to loans for their crops ama a group of Meshers wakidecide kuchanga doo.

This money is used to provide loans to members who need it. Members also have the opportunity to save money and earn interest on their savings.

Sacco Interest Rates

When you are shopping around for a Sacco, one of the most important things to consider is the interest rates they offer. I mean the interest rate that you earn on your savings and the interest rates you pay on a loan.

Different Saccos offer different interest rates so make sure umechapa research yako fiti kabisa before committing!

Keep in mind that higher interest rates also tend to come with certain conditions such as minimum membership fees and minimum deposits required.

It’s also important to know what type of savings account you want to have with the Sacco.

The Sacco can offer different types of savings accounts such as fixed deposits and recurring deposits, both of which come with different interest rates.

Fixed deposits hukuwa poa if you’re looking to save up more money over a longer period of time since they offer higher interest rates compared to recurring deposits.

However, recurring deposits may be better for beginners since they require less money upfront and their interest rates tend to be slightly lower than those of fixed deposits.

Saccos are owned by members and their primary goal is to benefit their members, sio kugenerate profits za mabazuu.

Lakini banks hutaka kumake as much money as they can by charging higher interest rates on loans and offering lower interest rates on deposits.

For example, unaweza kuwa na Ksh10,000 unataka kudeposit kwa savings account. Bank itakupea interest rate ya 0.25% per annum, which means that at the end of the year, utakuwa ume-earn KSh200 in interest.
