Abstract

The study sought to determine the moderating effect of government policies on the relationship between mobile technology services and performance of Deposit-Taking Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies (SACCOs) in Kenya. Descriptive and explanatory research designs were adopted based on a sample of 86 Deposit-Taking SACCOs. A structured questionnaire administered to two managers in each SACCO was used for data collection.
