Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How much can I borrow for school fees in Zimbabwe? A: The amount you can borrow is determined by your savings with the SACCOS (up to six times your saved amount) and our assessment of your ability to repay the loan without financial strain.
Q: Is there a waiting period for new members? A: Yes, there is a standard three-month waiting period for new members before they become eligible to apply for the school fees loan. This encourages a culture of saving and commitment.

Q: What happens if I require a loan amount that is more than my savings allow? A: In cases where the required amount exceeds your capacity, you have the option of putting up collateral security or having the loan guaranteed by other members or even non-members. Our team will discuss the best possible structure with you.
