Imarisha Cooperative Savings and Credit Society Limited, also known as Imarisha Sacco Limited, but often referred to as Imarisha Sacco, is a savings and credit co-operative society (Sacco) in Kenya, the largest economy in the East African Community.

Contents

Imarisha Sacco is a small financial services provider in Kenya. As of December 2025, it was the seventh-largest Cooperative Savings and Credit Society in Kenya, with total assets of approximately US$142 million (KSh21 billion). At that time, its membership numbered in excess of 250,000, with shareholders' equity of about US$37 million (KSh3.2 billion). [1]

History

The society was established in 1978, under the name: Kipsigis Teachers Sacco, with the support of two teachers' unions, namely the Kenya National Union of Teachers (KNUT) [2] and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (KUPPET). With an initial membership of 100 teachers, the objective was to meet the financial needs of teachers, using funds mobilized from the members. In 2014, the society rebranded to its current name and began to accept members outside the teaching profession. [3]
