Geofrey Matomola, an employee of CIC Insurance, extends his hand towards a piece of paper that rests idle on his office desk, and adjusting his necktie more tightly around his neck, sits down. At this point, the interview takes motion, and Matomola is sharing his experience as a member of UCS SACCO.


Geofrey Matomola’ provider-and-client relationship with United Civil Servants SACCO (UCS SACCO) kicked-off in 2025 when sales representatives from UCS SACCO exposed him to the SACCO concept. The way the product that is β€˜Member Education’ was presented to him, robbed his heart.


β€œI was not familiar with SACCOS and how they operate. If anything, I was exposed to small-scale financial enterprises like β€˜Zipereganyu’, which are relatively limited in some other aspects. Then one day, whilst at work, sales representatives from UCS SACCO made their way to our office and a platform was created for them to market their brand.


β€œIn the aftermath of becoming a member of UCS SACCO, I was helped to a Relief Loan which meant a lot to me considering that I was coming from a background that denied me access to loans. More remarkable was the ease and pace with which I received my loan. And, the loan gave me peace of mind because I was able to carter for bills which were invading my mental welfare,” said Matomola.


Matomola says he is not only impressed by how the SACCO has exposed him to accessible loans, but also how his approach towards savings has taken a valuable direction through the financial discipline that UCS SACCO imparted on him.
