** The Bakgotsi account is a special book-based account developed for groups such as clubs, stokvels and societies.
** The Bakgotsi account helps these groups reach their saving potential and keeps their money safe while it accumulates interest.
** To open a Bakgotsi account a group must have a constitution or written declaration of goals.
** Three authorised signatories are required on the account, and two signatories must always be present when making withdrawals.
** This makes the Bakgotsi account safe especially when money is withdrawn from the account.

Benefits of a Bakgotsi account

** Record all transactions with a Savings book
** There is no minimum or maximum balance
** Choose how long you want to save for
** No monthly management or service fees
** Unlimited online withdrawals

How to Apply

** You can apply at your nearest Post Office.
** Do not forget to submit your constitution or set of rules upon application.
** In order to comply with the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (Fica) regulations, the identity of all the authorised signatories must be verified – so additional documents you need to have with you include identity documents and proof of residential address of all signatories.

Make it work for you :
** Bakgotsi is specially designed for groups who have a constitution or written declaration of goals.
** Three authorised signatories are required on the account, and two signatories must always be present when making withdrawals – making this account especially safe when money is withdrawn from the account.
