Dental Equipment Financing in Kenya: How KMA SACCO Members Can Own Their Equipment Sooner

In short: Transafrica Medical Supplies Limited and KMA Regulated Non-WDT SACCO Society Ltd (KMA SACCO) signed a Memorandum of Understanding in August 2026. Eligible KMA SACCO members can now buy dental equipment from Transafrica with a SACCO loan. The SACCO pays Transafrica directly, and members repay on SACCO credit terms.

For most dentists in Kenya, the hardest part of upgrading a practice is not choosing the right dental chair or imaging system. It is finding the upfront capital. This partnership was set up to remove that barrier for KMA SACCO members.

Key facts at a glance

How does dental equipment financing through KMA SACCO work?

The process has five steps, from quotation to installation.

1. Choose your equipment. Browse Transafrica’s dental equipment catalogue and request a quotation. We provide quotations, invoices and product specifications on request.
2. Apply for a loan through KMA SACCO. See the SACCO’s loan products. The SACCO assesses your loan eligibility and creditworthiness as a member.
3. Sign your sale agreement. It sets out the equipment, price, delivery terms and warranty. Taxes, delivery and installation charges are included in the invoice, so they can be part of the financed amount.
4. KMA SACCO pays Transafrica directly. Once your loan is approved, the SACCO pays us based on your signed sale agreement and invoice. You do not need to arrange a separate loan or pay the supplier yourself.
5. We deliver and support your equipment. Delivery follows the SACCO’s financing confirmation. You then repay the SACCO on its member credit terms while we provide after-sale technical support under warranty.

In short: pick the equipment, let your SACCO handle the financing, and focus on your patients.

What dental equipment can I finance?

You can finance equipment from Transafrica’s catalogue of more than 5,000 products from over 40 global brands. This includes:

• Dental chairs from Bondent and Ritter Dental
• Dental motors and handpieces from COXO
• Imaging equipment, compressors and suction units from Dürr Dental

Preferential pricing for KMA SACCO members

Transafrica has agreed to offer KMA SACCO members preferential and discounted pricing, negotiated with the SACCO. Pricing is transparent: the price a member is quoted matches the price officially shared with the SACCO for the same equipment, specifications and terms. Any price change needs at least 30 days’ written notice to the SACCO.

Warranty and after-sale support

Every item supplied under the agreement must be new, genuine, fit for its intended clinical purpose and compliant with Kenyan regulatory, safety and industry standards. Equipment financed through the SACCO carries a manufacturer’s warranty or service support for at least as long as the loan repayment period. If equipment develops a fault during that period, Transafrica repairs or replaces it at no extra cost to the member.
