No wonder the turnover today was above average. The demand was strong as well.

And his thoughts some time back

Quote:
What do you see as the biggest threats to Africa’s banking sector?

Top on the list is mobile money transfer, which is challenging traditional banking. Banks are under pressure to take advantage of the growing use of mobile phones and telecoms firms are rolling out products similar to M-pesa.

For African banks, the biggest threat is the entry of big deep-pocketed global lenders into the continent’s banking arena. Such global lenders have more cash to fund expansion and follow clientele across the region.


Mpesa has happened and now global banks are coming in...
