“As a new TSC employee, I applied for the WEZESHA loan right after my first deduction and got KES 500,000 without waiting the usual six months. That flexibility helped me settle into my new posting without financial stress.”

“Unlike bank loans with all their hidden charges, Mwalimu National’s fees are clear from the start. I use Go-Mobile to check my savings and loan balance from home, which saves me a trip to the branch.”

“Really appreciate having a Mwalimu branch this far out in West Pokot — many financial institutions don’t reach us here. Service is generally good, though queues can build up on paydays around the 25th of the month.”

“Been a member for over 20 years and watched the Sacco grow from Tom Mboya Street offices to the impressive Mwalimu Towers. Dividends have generally been reliable and it feels good to be part of an institution built by teachers, for teachers.”
