The Kenya National Police Sacco was established in 1972 with just 690 members and has since expanded to a membership of more than 73,000.
It offers a range of services, including credit facilities, savings accounts, loans, and investment options. While the majority of its members are from the police service, the Sacco also admits civil servants and businesspeople.
Members benefit from low loan interest rates, annual dividends, interest on deposits, and access to instant loans.
The Sacco is open to any individual above the age of 18 years who meets their eligibility requirements.
In recognition of its performance, the Sacco was named “Best Managed Sacco in Kenya” at the 2024 Ushirika Gala Awards.
It operates seven branches in major towns across the country, with its headquarters located at the Kenya Police Sacco Plaza on Ngara Road, Nairobi.
According to the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) 2023 report, the Sacco ranked third in asset base, holding assets worth Ksh 54.24 billion.
