Luvisia Digital is here to help you invest in your financial future and build wealth. Buying shares in a SACCOS (Savings and Credit Cooperative Society) can be a smart and rewarding option in Kenya. Here’s a clear and concise guide to help you navigate the process:

1. Choose the Right SACCO

Research different Saccos to find one that aligns with your needs and goals. Consider factors like:

• Membership requirements: Ensure you meet their eligibility criteria, such as industry or location.
• Dividends: Understand the Sacco’s dividend payout history and potential returns.
• Interest rates: Compare interest rates offered on savings accounts and loans.
• Reputation: Research the Sacco’s financial stability and track record.

2. Confirm Eligibility

• Check the Sacco’s website or contact them directly to understand their specific membership requirements.
• Common criteria: Saccos often have a “common bond,” meaning members share a similar background, like working in the same industry or living in the same area.

3. Become a Member

• Complete the Sacco’s membership application form.
• Provide required documents: This may include personal information, proof of identity, and any other documents the Sacco requests.

4. Make Your Initial Deposit

• Deposit the required amount to become a member and purchase shares.
• The amount varies between Saccos, so check their specific requirements.

5. Receive Your Sacco Membership Number

• Once your application is approved, you’ll receive a unique membership number.
• This number is crucial for all your future transactions with the Sacco.

6. Buy Shares

• As a member, you can express your interest in buying shares.
• This may involve completing a share application form and specifying the number of shares you want to purchase.

7. Share Allocation

• Once your payment is confirmed, the Sacco will allocate the shares to your account.
• You may receive a share certificate or a statement confirming your ownership.
