How the Sacco works

Three habits, repeated every week. That is the whole system.

Join

Register with the Ksh 400 fee and a Ksh 100 passbook, then buy your founder shares — 120 shares at Ksh 100 each within 12 months. Shares make you a part-owner.

See the joining steps

Save

Save at least Ksh 350 every Monday and Wednesday, pay Ksh 250 towards shares every Friday, and Ksh 500 to the welfare fund each month.

How savings and shares work

Borrow

After 4 consecutive months of saving, you can borrow for your business — from Ksh 1,000 to Ksh 1,000,000 depending on your record.

Know your Sacco is real

K.Nabot SACCO is registered under the co-operative societies act. Before you pay anyone, ask to see the registration certificate — and only ever pay through the Paybill number shown here.

  • One Paybill. Pay only through M-Pesa Paybill 309945. K.Nabot SACCO staff will never ask you to send money to a personal phone number.
  • Written terms. Every fee, share and loan figure on this site comes from the Sacco's documents. Where the documents disagree, we say so instead of guessing.
  • Plain-language rules. The Savings and Shares page explains the exit rules — 90 working days' notice, shares sold not refunded — before you join, not after.

Common questions

Who can join K.Nabot SACCO?

Any Kenyan aged 18 or older who runs a small or micro business — for example a mama mboga stall, a boda boda, a restaurant, a shop or a farm. Registered groups such as self-help groups, women's groups, youth groups, CBOs and institutions can also join. This shared background is called the common bond, and it is what makes K.Nabot a co-operative rather than a bank.

How much does it cost to join?

Joining has three parts. A one-off registration fee of Ksh 400, a Ksh 100 passbook fee, and founder shares: 120 shares at Ksh 100 each, a total of Ksh 12,000 paid within 12 months of joining. Founder shares make you a part-owner of the Sacco — they are not a fee. All figures are being confirmed against the current schedule, so check with your field officer before paying.

What do I pay each week and month as a member?

Three regular payments keep your membership active: save at least Ksh 350 every Monday and Wednesday; pay Ksh 250 towards your founder shares every Friday until they are complete; and pay Ksh 500 to the welfare fund by the 5th of each month. The welfare fund supports members with hospital bills, weddings and similar events.

How do I send money to the Sacco?

Pay through Lipa na M-Pesa, Paybill 309945. For the account number, use your national id number. Do not send money to a personal phone number — K.Nabot SACCO staff will never ask you to. Keep the M-Pesa message as your receipt.
