Unison Sacco is now in Nakuru City. The deposit-taking Sacco recently opened its eleventh branch in the city that is one of the fastest-growing in the country.
With an asset base of about Ksh 4 billion and a loan book worth over Ksh3.8 billion, Unison Sacco is expected to change the dynamics of Nakuru’s financial sector.
“After a thorough feasibility study, we believe our affordable and convenient financial services will transform Nakuru residents’ livelihoods,” said the Sacco chairman, Mr James Muhandi.
Unison Sacco recently upgraded its mobile banking platform and is set to launch its Sacco banking App that will accelerate its financial deepening goal.
“Our slogan is always there for you, which signifies our commitment to uplift our members and customers’ social and economic status anytime and anywhere. Our wide range of credit products are tailor-made to meet the needs of all people despite their occupation,” said Mr Muhandi.
Nakuru County Minister Raymond Komen, in charge of Trade, Industry, Marketing, Tourism, and Co-operatives noted Unison Sacco would play a significant role in improving financial inclusion in the area.
“I am glad to note the Sacco has invested heavily in digital banking and offering various financial solutions that will suit the diverse needs of Nakuru residents,” he said.
Rift Valley regional Teachers Service Commission Director Adow Mohamed observed that most people depend on Saccos to achieve their financial stability and independence.
The official launch of the Nakuru branch comes months after the Sacco opened the Isiolo Branch in bid to take services closer to people and deepen financial inclusion, especially to unbanked communities.
The DT- Sacco has established itself as a leading financial services provider in the country, offering products and services that facilitate members’ growth and development over the last 43 years.
The Nakuru branch is located at Prestige Mall, while the Isiolo branch is situated at Waso Executive Building opposite Agnex Supermarket.
With its headquarters in Nanyuki town, Unison Sacco has extended wings to five counties, including Laikipia, Nakuru, Samburu, Isiolo, and Meru.
Unison Sacco is among cooperative societies that have significantly transformed members’ livelihoods by offering customer-oriented services and products. It is among the Saccos that have continued to register impressive growth despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
It has remained resilient in enabling members to rebuild back their livelihoods from the adverse effects of Covid-19.
The Sacco has been leading from the front by spearheading various community transformative initiatives such as supporting the needy children in different institutions like Nanyuki Children’s Home and participating in fundraising drives to support noble projects, including Nanyuki Hospice.
