NSSF should keep its promise of competitive returns on savings

I have been contributing to NSSF for the past 10 years, I still have several years before I retire, but I have not been enthusiastic about the saving scheme. Many people had written off their savings as a necessary evil.

With NSSF’s rebranding and making a promise to be the social security provider of choice, I am elated and I am actually looking forward to seeing that promise kept.

It is true that since the inception of the current leadership of the Fund, there has been marked improvement and the Fund has even encouraged more employers to contribute on behalf of their employees.

In Uganda, many of the retired employees only have this savings account to fall back to. That is why I hope when I retire, NSSF will have kept the promise they made last week.

The fund promised commitment to deliver a better future for the growing membership by providing quality products, great customer service and offering competitive returns in a transparent and efficient environment.

He also said as the industry is opened up and the restrictions around product creation lifted, the Fund has prepared a series of new products that would be responsive to the needs of the members.
That is music to savers’ ears.
