MWALIMU NATIONAL SACCO LOANS.

Why SACCO Loans are better

SACCO loans DO NOT have hidden charges but Bank loans have A LOT OF HIDDEN CHARGES besides monthly charges. Some of these charges include:

Insurance fee.
Appraisal/ Processing Fee
Account Maintenance Commission

NOTE: Banks have yearly reappraisals to determine interests to charge. This implies that the interest rates will vary within the lifespan of the loan.
