Did anyone here attend the dinner they held at Cardinal Otunga sometime last month? If yes, kindly share what it was like and what they had to say.


It's currently ongoing every Thursday/Friday of the week. If you can, make some time to attend. Really informative session. Some of the things that were talked about were;

Opportunities as a bank/sacco
Loans - Asset/property financing - They are still giving loans to members. Most recently the Thika buses, they were the financiers.

Agriculture
Dairy farming - Proposal by Jubilee govt. for maziwa ya 'Nyayo" to come back. That means 5 children per litre a day. There are 10 million school going children. That's 2mill. a day. They already have invested in lots of dairy farming and hope to reap from it.

Fixed deposit accounts/cheque books/atm cards - They offer the mentioned and the atm cards even have the new chip and you can use co-op bank for normal withdrawals i.e. 33/= per withdrawal or any other VISA place for transactions A member recently put half a BILLION into it.

Chamas
They give their offices to chama members to hold a meeting - Boardroom like kind of set-up

Opportunities as an insurance

They offer insurance to dairy farming

Opportunities in Power generation - They are already generating some power. Hydro I think in Central Kenya.

Community project - They also have a big heart just that they don't tell the media to cover it - Adopted, thermos bernados in Madaraka amongst others and also do environ conservation

Smart campaign - They're the first in Africa to do it (google it) Commonly used in Europe and dev. countries

They plan to have different arms under one umbrella unaitas holdings i.e. insurance arm, mortgages arm etc

Also, they withdrew M-pesa transactions charges and now its free of charge.I think they're already a bank with a title of a SACCO, hehe

do they still use coop bank cards, their was a patnership with abc bank on cards, any clarification
- msacco transaction charges are shared between safcom and sacco ie a withdraw is charged 73 where a sacco gets 30 and safcom 30, a deposit varies from 27 to 340 shared almost equally, have they scrapped only their charges or even safaricom charges
There are only two emotions in the stock market, fear and hope. The problem is, you hope when you should fear and fear when you should hope

From 6.30pm
No, they have their own ATM cards just that they use co-op ATMS as their own i.e. no extra ATM withdrawal charges will be incurred.
For mpesa, there's no transaction cost whatsoever as from Friday last week 10am

No. If interested put your email address. You can deal with their agents just to open an account and deal with the company directly for the finances

I attended and all that was being was the advantages of getting on the wagon nothing much about risks. The only risk Unaitas is expecting is competition.
They have about 500M to go to close the sale of shares.
They also discussed their products but were abit vague on the interest rates for savings accounts and loans. The rates are not indicated on their brochure.

Was in attendance too. Very much my sentiments as well. Need to work on their Investor relations...felt more like it was just a capital and deposit raising exercise. An institution that wants to be worth its salt has to give its backers due information...
