A modular core banking system. Start with the member and lending engine and switch on payments, credit, compliance and infrastructure as you grow — all through one contract, one API and one support team.

Core banking system

Member accounts, shares, savings, deposits, loan & treasury management and the general ledger — the ledger of record for your SACCO or MFI.

02

Savings & lending

Group and individual loan origination, automated decisioning, repayment schedules, dividends and portfolio-at-risk tracking.

NIN validation & onboarding

Automatic National ID (NIN) verification against NIRA at account opening and loan application — with e-KYC, AML/CFT and sanctions screening.

04

Payments switch & gateway

Collect and disburse across mobile money, banks and cards, and route transactions as a licensed payment service provider.

Member wallets, agent networks, cash-in / cash-out, bill collections and agent management for your branches and field.

Devices & infrastructure

POS terminals, biometric verification, servers and cybersecurity audits to secure the last mile in the field.

Company

Built by ExtraInch Technologies, for Africa's SACCOs.

SaccoPrime is the flagship core banking system from ExtraInch Technologies Ltd, a Kampala-based software company. We build the systems SACCOs and microfinance institutions can afford to run and their regulators can trust — designed around how cooperative finance actually works in Uganda and across the region.

Our mission

To make modern, compliant core banking accessible to every SACCO and microfinance institution serving Africa — not only the largest banks.

What we value

Reliability over hype, security by default, and building with — not just for — the cooperatives and communities we serve.

Careers

We're hiring engineers, compliance and field teams across the region who want to build the rails for African cooperative finance.

Resources

Insight from the frontlines of African cooperative finance.

It depends on the modules and integrations you need, but our sandbox lets your team start on day one, and core SACCO deployments are designed to launch in weeks rather than the year-plus legacy migrations often take.

Yes. SaccoPrime validates each member's National Identification Number against NIRA in real time during account opening and loan application — reducing fraud, ghost accounts and duplicate members before they enter your books.

Yes. SaccoPrime automatically integrates with common CRM and member-management providers, syncing data both ways so you don't have to run and reconcile two separate systems.

SACCOs and microfinance institutions in Uganda are supervised by the Uganda Microfinance Regulatory Authority (UMRA), and SaccoPrime is built to support the records, reporting and controls UMRA expects. Payment and e-money services that ride on the platform may involve Bank of Uganda licensing under the NPS Act, 2020 — we help you map the right path for your model.

We support in-country hosting and data residency in line with the Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019, with encryption and access controls throughout.
