Fees & terms

What membership costs

IMSSM publishes every charge in advance. Nothing is deducted from your cooperative account without your instruction.

Registration fee

₦5,000

One-off payment made during registration. Your membership is verified after payment is confirmed. IMSSM does not charge a recurring renewal fee.

Loan interest

1.5% per month

Charged on the reducing balance, so interest falls as you repay. Your full schedule is shown before disbursement.

Loan eligibility

From 30 days

Under current IMSSM policy you may apply about one month after your membership is verified. Applying is not approval — every request is assessed.

Fees and loan terms are set by IMSSM and may be reviewed. Members are notified of any change before it takes effect.
