Hellios Investments sold their stake in gold (Equity Bank) to buy a telecommunications firm in KE (Telkom Kenya) That was not a good move for them So Helios sold their gold by mistake $15/barrel oil... The commodities lehman moment arrives as well as Sovereign debt volcano!

Equity has been more innovative and would think they would stay ahead?

That partnership if well nurtured would have been bearing lovely fruits by now. Simba has taken that partnership. Equity now finds itself facing two elephants!$15/barrel oil...

Mwangi said [2 years ago] that the cost for using Safcom was too high. Only after Equity announced Equitel (or whatever they called it before) did the LCB-MPesa partnership start in earnest. Mwangi learnt his lesson and wanted control over screwing over his customers and not let others do so! Greedy when others are fearful.

There's something I noticed on the financial statements of both companies. Kcb almost has double the amount of NPLs compared to member. However, it's provision is just about half that of Member. Could there be a sensible explanation for this or is KCB just underprovisioning?
Since KCB has taken on more loans in 2016, aren't they more susceptible to defaults if the rate cap is removed?
Lastly,with the recent efforts to weaken Safaricom'dominance, doesn't it rock its marriage with KCB?

Provision is about grading the loans. Portfolio at risk. KCB could be having many grade 10 facilities due to healthy corporate lending while EQTY could be facing the music from a large non performing SME book

Yes yes yes...they should have kept the partnership. They would be like CBA right now. Mshwari was Equity's idea. Equitel is a great channel but it doesnt have the margins and numbers of mshwari.
