Never turn a qualified member away

"The member qualifies. The money is not there."

A bank credit line tops up your lending pool.

"When we cannot lend, members borrow elsewhere."

Members get short-term loans on their phones, from you.

"We spend all week approving a handful of loans."

Applications, disbursement and repayment run on one system.

How it works

How QuickLoan+ works

We do the heavy lifting with the bank while you continue looking after your members.

  1. 1Your records

    Your SACCO is digitised

    Your member, savings and loan records go onto one system, ready for credit assessment.

  2. 2Banking partner

    A facility is set

    The bank assesses your SACCO and sets a credit limit.

  3. 3Your SACCO

    You stay in control

    You approve members, set loan terms and disburse through your SACCO.

  4. 4Your members

    Keep your credit line working

    As members repay, the credit line frees up for more lending, subject to the facility terms.

You stay in control

Your SACCO, your members

  • You set the rates
  • Loans on your own paper
  • The member relationship stays yours
  • We never lend to or market to your members
  • Your members’ savings are not touched
What it costs

Pay only on what you lend

1.5%per month on the outstanding balance18% a year, charged on what is still out with members, so the cost falls as they repay.
KSh 0on funds you do not useIn a month where you lend nothing, the facility costs nothing.
2%Wakandi facilitation fee a monthOn the amount drawn and lent to members.
20%your contributionPlaced by your SACCO as a share of the facility. It can be reduced over time based on how your book performs.

A worked example

Drawn this month, lent to 80 membersKSh 4,000,000
Your members pay you, at 10% a monthKSh 400,000
The facility costs you, at 1.5% a monthKSh 60,000
Wakandi facilitation fee, at 2% a monthKSh 80,000
You keepKSh 260,000

On lending you could not otherwise have done. The 10% rate is an illustration; you set your own. Your member also pays Wakandi a 2% disbursement fee when the loan is paid out.

Questions boards ask

Where does the loan money come from?

A banking partner funds the credit line and sets your limit. You lend it to your own members, on your own paper, at rates you set. Wakandi runs the system in between.

What does it cost?

The facility costs 1.5% a month on the outstanding balance, plus Wakandi's 2% monthly facilitation fee. Funds you do not use cost nothing. Your SACCO places 20% of the facility as its contribution. All of this goes into the facility terms in writing before anything is signed.

What happens after we register?

We email you the pilot brochure to share with your leadership team. Our Nairobi team then talks it through with you and tells you honestly whether the pilot is a fit. If it is, you get the terms in writing, and your board decides.
