Hazina Sacco Membership and Requirements to Join

Hazina Sacco Society Limited is a financial cooperative based in Kenya. Saccos, short for Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations, are member-owned institutions that provide financial services to their members. Hazina Sacco is one such organization that primarily serves employees of the National Treasury, County Governments, and other public institutions in Kenya.

As a Sacco, Hazina Sacco aims to promote a savings culture and provide credit facilities to its members. The society encourages members to save regularly, which helps build a pool of funds that can be used to provide loans to members at competitive interest rates.

In addition to savings and credit services, Hazina Sacco also offers other financial products such as insurance services, investment opportunities, and financial education to its members. These additional services aim to enhance the financial well-being and security of the members.
