Deposits
Deposits mean a balance that is established and maintained by a member at a SACCO that confers membership rights to that person, these are the regular monthly deposits. They are used to determine eligibility for a loan and can only be withdrawn when one ceases to be a member. Deposits can be used as loan security; and are withdraw-able members’ savings.
The share capital is non-refundable and is only transferable to an existing Sacco member or sold to a Sacco member when you cease being a member.
Partial withdrawal of shares is not allowed, nor offsetting part of an outstanding loan. A member is only allowed to offset his/her deposits against his/her loan if he/she ceases to be a member. He/she must then pay off the balance immediately if any before withdrawing from the Sacco.
