On 10th October 2014, Mwalimu National SACCO signed an agreement on to buy the banking and investment arm of ECB. The SACCO then became the majority shareholder in the Bank, having acquired a 75% stake at the cost of Ksh.2.6 billion. This was in the plan of the Sacco to acquire 51% and 24% stake in the second phase.
