Look at this statistics:
For 2006 PAT for these 3 banks were as follows:
Family Bank - Kshs 184 million
Cooperative - Kshs 887 million
Equity Bank - Kshs 753 million
Fast forward to 2011
Family Bank - Kshs 391 million
Cooperative - Kshs 4,581 million
Equity Bank - Kshs 7,131 million
Until I see a serious change change in their strategy, I would be wary of this bank which which has just doubled profits over the last 5 years when others have quintupled (CoopBank) or increased by a factor of 10+ (in the case of Equity).

@FUNKY; the comparison is very OK!
What you now need to do is check how the three have grown their profits in that period:
Family = 2.1 times [average anualised growth rate =16%]
Co-Op = 5.2 times [average anualised growth rate =39%]
Equity = 9.5 times [average anualised growth rate =56%]
Clearly, Family has not kept up with the others... perhaps we should also add KCB to the list...
