Exodus Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, also referred to as Exodus Sacco, is a savings and credit co-operative society in Uganda. It is an institutional Sacco, composed of Uganda National Police (UNP) personnel and their families.
Overview
As of April 2014, it had total assets in excess of UGX:7 billion, with approximately 21,500 members. Membership is restricted to those in active service with the UNP and members of their families. The main objective is to mobilize savings from members and make loans to members at reasonable interest rates to improve their welfare. Exodus Sacco is the second-largest security forces-related Sacco in Uganda, behind the much bigger Wazalendo Savings and Credit Cooperative Society.[1]
There is another Uganda Police Sacco called Police Savings Association Limited, which was started in 1989, and the two Saccos compete for members.[2]
History
The Sacco was formed in Kampala, in 2007, to be operated by members of the Uganda National Police, for the benefit of members of the UNP and their families. The concept was introduced to police units in other areas of the country, with mixed success.[3]
Branch network
As of April 2014, Exodus Sacco had only its main office in Kampala.
Governance
As of May 2012, Exodus Sacco was governed by a nine-member executive committee, chaired by Laban Muhabwe.[4]
