Ownisha
Our purpose is to dismantle wealth inequality in South Africa — one owner at a time.
Our mantra is Jik’izinto – turn things around!
Our vision is to make cooperative bancassurance the default in Africa, giving underserved communities and businesses the tools, support and opportunities to build real ownership.
Starting in South Africa, built for the continent.
The Ownisha Co-operative Group, owned by its customers, is a cooperative financial services group dedicated to providing affordable, accessible, and secure cooperative financial services to our owner-members.
What makes us special is that we distribute our annual profits to our owner-customers, whom we refer to as members, in the form of an annual patronage dividend
Our group structure includes member cooperatives, a central body, the Ownisha Federation, as well as their subsidiaries and affiliated entities.
We are currently operational in South Africa.
