Savings groups and cooperatives
Saving together works best with an agreed goal, clear records and responsibilities everyone understands.
- 01
Agree the rules
Record the goal, each person’s contribution, due dates and the rules for leaving. Agree how late contributions and disagreements are handled.
- 02
Name the representatives
Document representatives, authorised signatories and how decisions are made. More than one person should be able to review all receipts and payments.
- 03
Reconcile the records regularly
Compare contribution records, cash held and account statements. Explain differences to members and correct errors promptly.
- 04
Ask about group services
Ask the SACCO about group documents, signing arrangements, charges and access to statements. Understand the implications before using a personal account for group funds.
