The SACCO will pay dividends (interest on deposit and dividend on share capital) every year to all the members having deposits or share capital for the financial year ended. Deposits earn interest on pro rata basis which means you don’t have to hold dividend for a full year to earn interest. On the other hand, any balance on share capital as at close of financial year is entitled to dividend at a rate to be recommended by the management committee.
