Strong Financial Foundation.
The 2025 financial year marked another period of remarkable growth for Stima DT SACCO. The institution recorded continued expansion in its asset base, strengthened members’ deposits, and maintained healthy liquidity levels despite operating in an increasingly competitive financial environment.
The SACCO also sustained robust loan growth, enabling thousands of members to access affordable credit for business expansion, education, housing, and personal development. By maintaining a strong capital position and prudent lending practices, Stima DT SACCO further enhanced its financial resilience while safeguarding members’ savings.
Its recognition as the 2nd Best DT SACCO in Capitalisation underscores the institution’s ability to build a solid financial base capable of supporting future growth while meeting regulatory requirements and member expectations.
Innovation Driving Better Member Experience.
Technology has increasingly become a defining factor in the competitiveness of financial cooperatives, and Stima DT SACCO’s recognition as the 2nd Best DT SACCO in Technology Optimisation reflects significant investment in digital transformation.
