Our story
Built from the ground up
UBTA was born out of a simple truth. Boda boda riders are the backbone of urban transport in Kenya, yet they remain among the most underserved workers in the economy. No formal representation. No financial access. No structure.
We changed that. Starting in Nairobi, UBTA brings riders under a single organised umbrella. Giving them identity, advocacy, and a real path to financial growth. CBD SACCO was the next step: a fully registered co-operative where members save monthly and access loans up to 3× their savings, with no bank account required.
Today, our agent network spans Githurai 45, Ngara, and Njiru; with more locations planned as membership grows across Kenya.
UBTA established in Nairobi to address the lack of structured representation and financial access for boda boda riders.
CBD United Boda Transport Co-Operative Society Limited registered — opening savings accounts, credit records, and loan access for members.
Three official agent hubs established: Githurai 45, Ngara–Fig Tree, and Njiru–Kangundo Road, serving riders across Nairobi.
500+ registered members, a growing savings pool, QR-coded motorbike fleet, and an expanding network of financially empowered riders.
