ABOUT US AND HOW TO JOIN
Yoken SACCO is a member-based SACCO that was originally established by employees of Fides Kenya Ltd to help promote financial growth among members.
Like other SACCOs, the primary way you benefit by joining Yoken SACCO is getting access to affordable credit – and members need to build up their savings to qualify for loans after 6 months.
Yoken SACCO membership is now open to Kenyans outside of Fides Kenya Ltd- but you need to be introduced by an existing member of the SACCO. Apart from direct employees of Fides Kenya Ltd, their Spouses and Children- aged 18+ years- can also join directly.
