• Repayment period is between 3-36 months depending on the amount borrowed.
• The loan is self-secured and acceptable securities include logbooks and commercial title deeds.

Group loans are purposefully meant to boost business. Once approved, Business Loans are disbursed to individual members within a group for expansion of existing income activity. For members to qualify for this facility, the business being run must have be in operation for at least six(6) months.

Mwalimu National SACCO Group Loans are based on three tiers (Tier one, Tier two and Tier three).

Each tier attracts a monthly interest of 1.3% p.m. Its important to note that one has to start from tier one and graduate through the tiers within the program based on business ability.

An amazing thing about group loans offered is that if the business is successful, at tier three one can move to borrow as an individual client without the need of group.
