FOSA LOANS

The Society has opened a FOSA office at all country branches as a way of deepening its financial service delivery to membership. Despite having little savings, a member can automatically increase his/her loan borrowing powers by utilizing the Share Boost Loan Product. This product is suitable for members who have sufficient income/salary but are limited because of less deposits at the Sacco.

1. Shares Boost Advance​

Despite having little savings, a member can automatically increase his/her loan borrowing powers by utilizing the Share Boost Loan Product. This product is suitable for members who have sufficient income/salary but are limited because of less deposits at the Sacco.

How Share boost Advance works:-

Maximum shares boost facility amount is 50% of a member’s deposits

  • Maximum shares boost facility amount is 50% of a member’s deposits:
  •   A member qualifies for half the amount of their desposits e.g. with Kshs. 500,000 deposits, a member can qualify for up to 50% of deposits which is Kshs. 250,000. With deposits of Kshs. 750,000 a member can take a loan of up to Kshs. 4,000,000 as opposed to Kshs. 2,000,000 that he/she would qualify for without a share boost.
  • Member is eligible for only 1 shares-boost loan per year
  • Maximum shares boost amount per year is Kshs 500,000/-
  • New deposits as a result of shares-boost qualify for dividends earnings
  • Can apply for only one shares-boost loan in one calendar year
