How It Works

SaccoShares connects buyers and sellers of SACCO shares. We do not process the transfer itself — that happens through your SACCO, under its own rules. Here is the full path for both sides.

Buying shares

  1. 1

    Search by SACCO

    Use the Buy tab on the homepage to select the exact SACCO you're interested in. Listings only show for the SACCO you pick.

  2. 2

    Review the listing

    Check the share count, total asking price, county, and any seller notes. Open the linked SACCO profile to review its published financials.

  3. 3

    Send a private inquiry

    Leave a phone number or email. The seller is notified and contacts you directly — your contact details are never shown publicly.

  4. 4

    Verify before you commit

    Contact the SACCO to confirm the seller's share balance and membership status. Do this before agreeing on anything or sending money.

  5. 5

    Transfer through the SACCO

    The actual share transfer is completed by the SACCO under its own by-laws — typically a transfer form, board or committee approval, and updated membership records. SaccoShares is not part of this step.

Selling shares

  1. 1

    List your shares

    Choose your SACCO, enter the share count, county, and your asking price. Listing is free.

  2. 2

    Get discovered

    Your listing appears to buyers searching that SACCO. A free trial period keeps it visible from day one.

  3. 3

    Receive inquiries

    Interested buyers send a private inquiry with their contact details so you can follow up.

  4. 4

    Subscribe to stay visible

    After the trial, a small M-Pesa payment keeps your listing active and unlocks full buyer contact details.

  5. 5

    Complete the transfer

    Agree terms with the buyer, then process the transfer through your SACCO the same way you would off-platform.
