SASRA is the government agency responsible for regulating and supervising SACCOs in Kenya.
Its primary role is to ensure the safety, stability, and sound management of the SACCO sector while protecting members' savings and investments.
One of SASRA's key mandates is the licensing of SACCOs that offer deposit-taking services.
Through this function, the authority ensures that SACCOs meet the required legal, financial, and operational standards before they can provide services similar to those offered by banks, such as savings accounts and cash withdrawals.
SASRA is also responsible for the regulation and supervision of Deposit-Taking SACCOs (DT-SACCOs) and specified Non-Deposit Taking SACCOs.
Another important role of SASRA is the protection of SACCO members' interests and carrying out inspections, investigations, and enforcement actions against SACCOs that fail to comply with regulatory requirements.
