Product information

Keep business money distinct from household spending and build a clearer record of receipts and expenses. Your D-SACCO will explain which account suits your legal status, whether you operate as a sole trader or through a registered business. Check charges, permitted transactions and the documents needed to open it. Merchant collections, salary payments and other business services depend on the local offer; an account does not guarantee a future loan.

Uses

Shops, market stalls, tailoring, repairs, food services, small production and professional services; examples are not an exhaustive eligibility list.

Catalogue publication

The dates shown define the catalogue publication period. They do not establish the validity period of a financial rate, tariff or contract.

Must every informal trader already be a company?

Do not assume so. The selected institution must explain the eligible account route and actual evidence required.

Will this guarantee a business loan?

No. Any application still requires the lender’s separate assessment and decision.
