My friend lemme put you out of your ignorance....
1. CFC Stanbic is among the fastest growing banks in Kenya in terms of customer numbers
2. CFC Stanbic has mobile & internet banking platforms add on top their open up to 8pm.
3. CFC Stanbic does workplace banking...their target clientelle are guys graduating from bottom of the pyramid banks like Equity Bank. The working class understands the essence of time thus theyre more likely to use the products I mentioned in 2 hence the high commission and fees income and no long lines in the banking halls
4. CFC Stanbic's CIB division is the best in East Africa. Theyre winning deals left and right.
5. Theyre scaling their PBB division through innovative products such as Puresave...did you see...the drop in cost of funds and increase in customer deposits?
6. On Agency banking it has its limitations i.e you cant borrow a loan through an agent....do you expect a corporate like Kenol to use agency banking? Agency banking is for hasslers and sufferers...
7. Q1 2013 was slow...i.e People were not taking loans..there were issues in South Sudan....they didnt trade in their bond book...there was an uptick in yields on T-Bills but have since come down.
8. At H1 2013 expect the run rate to pick up...they should be growing PBT by 100%
9. This is a Gem...in other words the new Equity Bank
