The Kenyan SACCO Landscape in 2024
Kenya's Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs) have long been the backbone of financial inclusion in the country, serving over 14 million members and managing assets worth over KSh 1 trillion. However, the digital revolution sweeping across Africa's financial sector has created both opportunities and challenges for these traditional institutions.
Why Digital Transformation Matters for SACCOs
Traditional SACCOs face increasing pressure from digital banks, mobile money services, and fintech companies that offer faster, more convenient services. Members now expect:
- 24/7 access to their accounts through mobile apps
- Instant loan approvals and disbursements
- Real-time transaction notifications
- Seamless integration with mobile money platforms like M-Pesa
- Automated savings and loan management
