=>Give me advantage of Family Bank over CFC Stanbic other than wide branch network and I'll stop thinking of leaving the former to the latter.

I prefer I&M Bank [I was 100% CFC damu lakini they lost the plot after the stanbic merger] though they have fewer ATMs & branches than either Family or Equity since I like the quality of service. Also the lines are relatively short vs Equity.

But @vvs when you bring the Kenswitch and KCB ATM networks into play then lack of ATMs becomes irrelevant. What I need to confirm the next time I'm in Ug is if they charge I&M the usual ksh 40 or it becomes a VISA transaction.

After hopping in nearly all big banks (the big 5), I landed in EB. Pathetic as it may seem. Lessons learnt, 1. They are all nearly the same. Bullcrap is evenly spread!!
2. So long as you dont venture inside the halls, u wont split hairs or throw a tantrum. Keep off as much as possible by using mobile banking(dep/withdr/bal)
3. For EB, just know the right time to withdraw, avoid end-month wkds completely-like the proverbial plague!
4. Go for the free accounts i.e no fees whatsoever (coop, EB, Family, k-rep).
Enjoy banking Kenyan style.

Anybody knows what 'system' they are/ have been trying to put in there at FB?
The info can be helpful to bankers in Wazua - which systems NOT to go for.
