Frequently Asked Questions

You have to make a minimum of M65 deposit a month. This is a compulsory saving. M50 is your deposit, M15 is bank charges. For now, any extra deposit is considered to be ordinary savings and it can be withdrawn any time you want. E.g. some members are already depositing upto M1015 which is broken up as M50—compulsory saving, M950—ordinary saving and M15 bank charges. The M1015 figure can go up or down but it can never go below M65 for now.

When you register, you also give us a permission to withdraw monthly savings directly from your bank account.

The policy (which is under development) will show what happens to a member who fails to make a monthly contribution for a given time. The most likely scenario is that he loses membership and his total contribution and deposits are given back to him.
