Our Key Pillars

Ecobiz Sacco currently has over 6000 members   generally categorized as SMEs,employees of SME’s,Creatives,Persons with Disability (PWDs), Association of Small and micro-Enterprises (AMSEA) Mombasa chapter, and domestic workers.  The Board Members of Ecobiz are all inclusive and are drawn from various SMEs, MSMES as well as the creatives.

We aim to create awareness about the saving culture and provide the opportunity to save as little as Kshs. 50 (USD 0.33) per day.  Our clientele generally saves up to Kshs.1000 (USD 6.7) in a month and our responsibility is to encourage them to consistently save for the sake of their businesses and families.  Using a co-guarantee mechanism (members saving guaranteeing fellow members) one can borrow up to three times the savings without additional security. For example, a member who saves for a period of 1-year Kshs 12,000(USD 80) can borrow up to Kshs 36,000 (USD 240) from the Sacco (1 USD = Ksh.150 September 2023)
