So how will CBA attract funding if its fixed deposits rate is lower than the industry? People would rather take it to a bank giving higher rates. We cant say funding from mpesa cash because that money is shared by almost all banks.
This will be interesting to watch

Actually, CBA holds the mpesa cash. What the other banks do is to wire hundreds of millions every morning to CBA to get e-value(float). Otherwise for every mpesa balance in someone's line, CBA holds the cash equivalent.

Irony of using KBRR is that because it's lower, banks move to lending to govt. So tbills drop, and because tbills make up KBRR, KBRR drops further. CBK wont even have to change CBR.

Interesting times ahead.


But KBRR is extra low considering free deposits from majority of the transactional accounts.. CBA did no one a favor, including themselves.. But their source of funds may be illegit so we understand


What do you mean their source of funds maybe illegit?

Do you know Jeremy Ngunze, Safaricom, mshwari and mobitelea.. Please try avoid obvious questions

Nothing in law prevents them from giving 8% interest on deposit taking accounts...but everything stops them from charging more than 14.5% on loans!
