Known as “The Future Bank of the People,” Phuthalichaba is the fastest growing registered financial cooperative in Lesotho; incubated under the NUL Innovation Hub. Its aim is to become Lesotho’s first and true Development Bank which will invest in NUL Innovation Hub’s businesses and other businesses owned by Basotho.
Every member must save monthly (Compulsory Monthly Savings). You choose how much you want to save per month but the minimum amount you can save is M50.00. These compulsory savings are debited from your bank account through a debit order, which is charged M15.00

What makes Phuthalichaba different?
1. Being part of the NUL Innovation Hub, Phuthalichaba seeks to be at the cutting edge of financial innovations in Lesotho.
2. It is brought together, and it is led by some of the most innovative professionals Lesotho has produced.
3. It is one of the few (if any) 100% paperless institutions in Lesotho. Yes, no one handles cash or touches paper at Phuthalichaba. We use technology to the maximum!
4. All financial transactions are handled by the bank, so Phuthalichaba is transparent in the way it handles people’s hard-earned cash. That is because all its financial transactions are traceable and they are held by a third party, which is the bank.
Did you know:
1. That Phuthalichaba now has its savings at M536, 119.27, and membership at 403 on its way to becoming Basotho’s own Bank?
2. That Phuthalichaba has members residing as far as Taiwan, Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Mozambique, Belgium and South Africa? That, in fact, you can join Phuthalichaba from anywhere in Lesotho or outside the country as long as you have a bank account in Lesotho and you are a citizen of Lesotho?
3. That PhuthaLichaba owns two more financial institutions which are: Lebelo Mobile Money and Phuthalichaba Investments (more about this in the future)?
4. That even new-born babies can become members of Phuthalichaba by saving through their parents’ accounts as long a they have Identity Documents.
So join PhuthaLichaba now because, quite frankly, it is an earthquake waiting to happen in the financial world:
