SAVINGS GOVERNANCE
Preparing for a broader SACCO structure.
The current Co-operative framework allows INNOVA to organise member savings. As the financial product offering grows, INNOVA is considering an independent SACCO structure so savings and credit services can serve a broader population within a dedicated financial-governance framework and FSRA regulatory oversight.
The next planned governance nomination cycle for the SACCO launch is targeted for January 2027. Positions and nomination windows will be published here as they open.
Savings
Dedicated governance for member savings and future savings products.
Credit
Clear oversight for lending, credit policy and member finance.
Oversight
Stronger prudential governance and regulatory accountability as the offering expands.
COLLABORATION
Formal partnerships help the Co-operative do more.
INNOVA works with implementation partners, service providers, suppliers, institutions, technology partners and ecosystem organisations while member-governance authority remains with the Co-operative.
