NSSF Sacco Membership Eligibility & Requirements

By Kelvin On Jul 29, 2023

This page focuses on the eligibility and qualifications for NSSF Sacco membership. NSSF Sacco, formerly NASSEFU Savings Credit Society, was founded on August 20, 1990 by eight NHIF employees.

During its first Annual General Meeting (AGM), the Sacco grew to 280 members. This was a unified purpose initiated by the NSSF members at the time.

With increased member engagement and asset growth, FOSA began operations in December 2010 after receiving SASRA authorization to provide quasi-banking services to NSSF Sacco members at competitive rates.

This accelerated the Sacco’s growth to the point that it was necessary to open the Sacco’s common bond, allowing other employer businesses to join with their employees.
