Fortune Sacco initially began as Union Banking Section (UBS) of Kirinyaga district Co-op Union (KDCU) in 1972.It was the only section that offered financial services to Kirinyaga district Farmers who were mainly coffee and tea growers. KDCU had other sections like banking and farm store among others but UBS made the most profits.
The profits made were used to boost other sections thus making it difficult for it to perform optimally. This provoked a desire for autonomy and in 1988, Kirinyaga District Farmers’ Sacco Society (KDFSS) was born. It inherited about 1000 members from UBS.
It eventually rebranded to what is now known as Fortune Sacco in 2008 and membership has since grown to 125, 000 members.
