Kudos JM, we also have Eric Kimani of Palmhouse Foundation. He doesn't publicize but he will send volunteers to conduct interview in all regions of Kenya.

Another positive outcome is that our local banks are copycating, KCB, COOP. much as it exposes the lack of lateral thinking by our banks, the end result is good for us.
Let's now wait for the Kenyan malaise to creep in - corruption.

I like what equity is doing, and above all they have not kept it secret, keeps the pressure on them to continue and also pulls in other institutions to do the same.

...And the communities' trust in the bank grows day by day...I hear this is the only bank in Kenya that pays workers at the end of the month even when the employers have not remitted their salaries!!! Mhhhhhhh...Should open an account here.

I, too, concur. The more the merrier. Reminds me of an old lady who walked in to the local Family Bank branch recently clutching only her national i.d, an introductory letter from her area chief and her dependant's (grandchild) KCPE result slip. She said that she had been informed by the chief that the bank would educate her grandchild for free since she had no means to pay for his high school fees herself. The kid had performed well, having got 413marks. Long story short, her wishes were granted and she went home happy.
