Taifa Sacco Membership Eligibility & Requirements

This article focuses on Taifa Sacco membership eligibility and requirements. Taifa Sacco was started in January 1974 as a banking section of the Nyeri District Co-operative Union to offer banking services to the rural farmers in Nyeri District who were members of cooperative societies.

In 1998, the union banking section transitioned into a savings and credit cooperative society. It was registered as Nyeri Farmers Credit & Savings Co-operative Society (Nyeri Farmers Sacco).

The demand for savings and credit services continued to grow even among members who were not necessarily farmers and carried out their economic activities outside the former Nyeri District.

As a result, Nyeri Farmers Sacco re-engineered its products and services and also rebranded to Taifa Sacco in 2005 in order to accommodate the diverse and growing membership.
