** 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** This makes the Bakgotsi account safe especially when money is withdrawn from the account.

How to Apply
