Membership

A co-operative bank belongs to its members. Members are both the owners of the bank and its customers.

What co-operative membership means

Unlike a commercial bank, a co-operative bank is owned by the people it serves. By subscribing to shares of the bank, a member becomes part-owner of the institution, participates in the general body and shares in its progress.

This is what allows the bank to keep its focus on women, households and small enterprises rather than on outside shareholders.

Types of membership

Regular Membership

Full membership of the bank, with the rights available to members under the bye-laws.

Associate Membership

Associate membership as provided for under the bye-laws of the bank.

Nominal Membership

Nominal membership as provided for under the bye-laws of the bank.

Eligibility conditions, share value, admission fee and the rights attaching to each class of membership — to be updated by the bank from its bye-laws.

How to become a member

Applications for membership are accepted at the Head Office and at all branches of the bank. Please carry your identity and address proof.
