Questions to bring to the SACCO.
How does a group open an account?
Ask about group documents, signatory identification, an account-opening resolution and applicable charges.
How is a SACCO group loan different from internal lending?
A loan from the SACCO follows its own agreement. A group’s internal lending to members is separate and should not be presented as a SACCO-approved loan.
