FAQs

Common questions about savings

Contributions are processed monthly through your registered payment channel — card, bank transfer, USSD, or payroll deduction where applicable. You'll receive a reminder a few days before your due date.

The Share & Savings Account is a protected, long-term balance. It's designed to be withdrawn when you exit the cooperative, not for everyday spending — that's what your Special Savings Account is for.

A short grace period applies before a missed contribution is treated as arrears. Extended arrears can affect loan eligibility, so it's best to keep contributions current or contact us if you're facing difficulty.

Investment Accounts are available once you become a Confirmed Member — typically after six months of consistent contributions as a Guest Member with no outstanding arrears.

An annual maintenance fee of ₦5,000 applies for administrative and operational support. If you exit the cooperative, a 4% administrative processing fee is deducted from your balance where applicable.
