Step-by-step

  1. Open the member app and sign in. You'll see Your Groups.
  2. Tap your group. Your dashboard opens.
  3. In the top menu, tap More. Options list on the left; tapping one shows its panel on the right.
    The More screen: the left menu lists Your Groups, Language, Documents, Bank Details and MNO Details, with the Language panel open showing English, Swahili and Hindi
    Figure 1: The More screen: the left menu lists Your Groups, Language, Documents, Bank Details and MNO Details, with the Language panel open showing English, Swahili and Hindi

Then, what each option does:

  1. Your Groups. Takes you back to the group list, so you can open another SACCO you belong to.
  2. Language. Choose the app language: English, Swahili or हिन्दी (Hindi). Tap the one you want.
  3. Documents. The papers held on your account, such as the identity documents your SACCO has on file.
  4. Bank Details and MNO Details. The bank account and mobile-money numbers on file (MNO means Mobile Network Operator, like MTN or Airtel). Withdrawals are sent to these.

Note: Keep Bank Details and MNO Details up to date — wrong details can delay your money.

Common pitfalls & FAQ

  • The app changed language and I can't read it. Tap More, then Language, and choose English again.
  • My details were changed, but the old value still shows. A change to bank or mobile-money details goes to your SACCO as a request. The new value appears once a staff member approves it.
  • My withdrawal went to the wrong place. Check Bank Details and MNO Details. If either is wrong, ask your SACCO to update it before the next payout.
  • Documents is empty. Your SACCO hasn't uploaded anything yet. Ask which papers they need and bring your identity documents when you visit.
