The air was filled with excitement and optimism as Username Properties launched Username Sacco, a new financial arm of the company. Username Sacco is a member-driven financial institution established to make savings, borrowing and property ownership more accessible to Kenyans. 

Username Sacco is fully licensed and regulated by the Ministry of Co-operatives and MSMEs and is built on the vision of empowering members through affordable loans, competitive savings products and innovative financial solutions that promote financial growth and independence. In the last ten months, Username Sacco has registered over 100 members and the target is to register even more Kenyans looking to access affordable financial empowerment.

Speaking during the launch, Reuben Kimani, Chairperson of Username Sacco, revealed that “Username Sacco is much more than a financial institution, it’s a community built on the values of financial literacy and empowerment. Our goal is to help ordinary Kenyans turn their dreams into reality by providing affordable and accessible financial solutions that meet their everyday needs.”

Reuben Kimani also assured members of the Sacco that the Board is fully committed to good governance, innovation and putting members first. He emphasized that integrity and transparency will guide every step as the Sacco works to open up more opportunities for financial inclusion and long-term prosperity.

Username Sacco will provide the following offerings:

• Instant loans: quick and hassle-free credit with no guarantors required.
• Property Loan Packages: enable members to own land with as little as 5% deposit and offer flexible repayment options of up to 36 months.
• Savings Growth: members earn dividends while building equity through the Saccos’ mandatory savings model.
• Diaspora Wezesha loans: designed to empower Kenyans living and working in the diaspora to stay connected to their mother country while building a solid financial future.

While giving her speech, the CEO of Username Sacco, Sarah Wahogo, revealed that  “The official launch of Username Sacco is not just a milestone but a continued opportunity to fulfil the broader Username Properties Vision to empower more Kenyans and help them to achieve the dream of home ownership through property loans in addition to other financial offerings.”

Sarah emphasized that membership is open to all Kenyans with a valid ID all over the world, which makes the Sacco an all-inclusive financial institution for both local and diaspora investors. To become a member, one only needs to pay a one-time registration fee of Kshs. 1000 and a minimum share capital of Kshs. 5000. This creates an affordable entry point for any individual seeking to grow financially and secure their future.

With this inclusive approach, Username Sacco has positioned itself as a catalyst for financial inclusion, empowering Kenyans from all walks of life to cultivate a saving culture, access affordable credit and build long-term wealth.
