GOK owns a miniscule 3.80% of HFCK
GOK owns a substantial 18% of KCB...

The point is that GOK and NSSF also hold than 10% of HF. That's substantial.

When it comes to mortgage business, be sure they will 1st visit the one stop mortgage shop, HF.

@guru, notice the article is all HF and no KCB. That by itself speaks volumes

HFCK has a market share of 48%
S&L has a market share of 35%

With the recent revamping of S&L and its merger with KCB how much longer will HFCK hold the top spot??

GOK would prefer a partner with adequate capital, huge branch network, and significant influence (25% ownership in KCB)..

S&L can lend up to 8billion per customer while HFCK cant even lend more than 1billion per customer!

I do not see why i would pick HFCK over KCB to handle something of this magnitude..

HF can lend KES 950M to one individual borrower. Tell me one single pensioner who will need more than KES 950M mortgage?!?

HF has a unique way of taking care of its customers. A case in point is when industry rates shot above the roof and S&L squarely hammered its customers. HF did not. Who wouldnt want to be with such a mortgage shop?

Britak has pension schemes which HF can tape! KCB as a whole can't lend Ksh8bn to one customer, that's like 17% of KCB's total capital!

@the deal, britak and HF have lots of synergies. That one is another,

On KCB, it can. Check clause 3.1 of CBK prudential guideline Link

The following said at the clause is a PLUS for HF

The Central Bank of Kenya with the written approval of the Minister may authorize a mortgage finance company to give advances, credits, guarantees or incur liabilities whose values exceed 25% of core capital.

and remember equity n britak collectively own over 40% of HF and they continue to gather more shares. Mr Mwangi may still be eyeing majority stakeholder
