Banks are simply converting most accounts to non-interest earning accounts. Barclays and KCB leading. So much for the law being an ass.

Gonna let this topic simmer for a year, then I will re-visit it and start crowing to akina @Maichblack and his doomsayer band.

Will keep doing that on the anniversary of signing this law until the economic Armageddon that they predicted comes to pass. smile smile

CBA management is showing very poor leadership here.

First it was loan at 12.9%, then they revised to 14.5%, now it is mobile money loan , what else don't they know ?.

Sad Sad My Bank is playing clever with me ... they gave me this circular saying that only A/c that do not have more that two withdrawals per annum are eligible to earn the 7%
If you make more than two withdrawals your account becomes a non-interest earning transaction account !!!!!! is this not circumventing the law Shame on you Shame on you Shame on you ? Wapi Okoit Okiyah Omtatah
