UAN Sacco
A Historic Milestone: Official Licence Received & Operations Launching Soon!
We are thrilled to announce a historic milestone for the United Asian Network (UAN) and the entire Kenyan Asian community: The official registration and licensing of the UAN SACCO!
The official SACCO Certificate was formally presented to UAN Chairman, Dr. Bimal Kantaria, by senior representatives from the Ministry of Co-operatives and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Development. This marks the establishment of the first-ever SACCO exclusively dedicated to serving and empowering the Asian community in Kenya.
UAN Sacco
Paving the Way for Financial Empowerment
The UAN SACCO was established to foster financial inclusion, foster a strong culture of saving, and provide flexible, accessible capital. Designed with small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and individuals in mind, the SACCO will offer:
-
Competitive Interest Rates: Borrow at significantly cheaper rates than traditional commercial banks.
-
Agile Financing: Fast turnaround times for loan processing to support business growth and personal development.
-
Community Growth: Localized capital designed to nurture grassroots enterprise and long-term financial security.
Leadership & Gratitude
We are proud to announce Shilpa Haria as the inaugural Chair of the UAN SACCO. Under her vision and leadership, the SACCO is positioned to fulfill its core mandate of community-wide economic development. Details regarding democratic elections to fill the remaining Board of Directors seats will be shared in due course.
We also extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Malkit Singh Main for his tireless dedication and leadership throughout the regulatory approval process.
