Common pitfalls & FAQ

  • The Contribute button is greyed out. You haven't filled both required parts — choose a savings account and enter an amount, and it turns on.
  • There's no account in the list. Your SACCO sets up your savings accounts. If the list is empty, contact them.
  • I paid but my savings didn't change. Give it a few minutes and refresh. If it still doesn't show, contact the SACCO with the date and amount.
  • Which account should I choose? If you have more than one, pick the savings product you meant to add to — ask the SACCO if you're unsure.
