SACCO Core Banking

Run your entire SACCO from one secure system

Members, savings, loans, guarantors and accounts in one core banking system for Kenyan SACCOs, with M-Pesa, USSD and a member portal so members can save and repay without queuing.

  • M-Pesa Paybill & STK
  • USSD, web & mobile app
  • Maker-checker & audit trails
  • Multi-branch consolidation
Overview

One SACCO management system for every member, shilling and loan

SingularERP-Sacco is a complete core banking system for Savings and Credit Cooperatives in Kenya. It replaces ledgers, spreadsheets and disconnected tools with one platform where you open accounts, post savings, process loans and reconcile M-Pesa and bank collections, with postings from loans, deposits and charges flowing straight to the general ledger.

Members check balances, deposit and repay through USSD, the web portal and the mobile app, which cuts queues at the counter. Maker-checker approvals, audit trails and CRB checks keep funds safe, and management and the board get portfolio quality, liquidity and growth reports when they need them.
