Unaitas Sacco Ltd – Kenya
In 1993 when members of Murang’ a Tea growers came together, pooling their resources, they were only interested in creating a financial basket, save and advance loans to each other at affordable rates. They had no idea the organization would be an inspiration to many.
They later formed a Sacco they called Muramati Sacco in 2007. It would later diversify and roped in more farmers, medium size entrepreneurs, and salaried employees.
In line with its growth and expansion strategy, Muramati rebranded to Unaitas in 2012 adopting a strong, bold brand inclusive of members from all Walks of life. In April 2013, Unaitas Sacco Ltd entered into a partnership with ABC Bank to open current accounts for Unaitas members across the country.
Under this arrangement, ABC became an agent for Unaitas, allowing the Saccos members access to the national payment system. The Sacco members are given cheques and receive cheque processing services from ABC bank, beating legal constraints that limit Saccos from running clearinghouses. Today, Unaitas Sacco Ltd has nearly 100,000 members.
