Equity has handily beaten KCB in any market in which KCB didn't have the explicit and implicit support of GoK.

Now they will have to acquire a much smaller bank than BCDC, maybe they might go for Trust Merchant Bank with close to $700 million in assets.

That's almost the same size as BCDC ($760mn)

Wasn't KCB heavily supported by the Moi and Kibaki regimes as well as a "government" bank?

This is so NOT TRUE!

Exactly which government support did it get?

Government business in agriculture e.g NCPB payments to maize farmers when Jimnah Mbaru was the Chairman of NCPB.
Donor funds to agriculture which instead of being channeled through AFC were channeled through Equity Bank.

Equity's 1st integrated banking/financial system installed in 2003 was fully funded by World Bank for 'free' as part of support of financial inclusion for Kenya Government. Obviously we all know how it landed at Equity.

Equity was not the only bank in this programme. KCB, and Co-Op were also involved. Because of it's marketing prowess, Equity ended up handling about 60% of the funds.

Infrastructure
In 2005, Equity invested over KShs. 565 million on Information Technology infrastructure with Infosys, the world’s leading core banking solution, which will support the Bank’s expansion strategy. The Information Technology infrastructure includes a new generation core banking system, state of the art data centre and an enhanced Automated Teller Machines network. In 2006, Equity plans to commission 50 Automated Teller
Machines, point of sales terminals, mobile banking and short message service alerts across its existing and
future branch network. The amount expended for the expansion exercise and the infrastructure is from the
Bank’s own funds. A detailed breakdown of the infrastructure is in the general information section of this
Information Memorandum.

This is very possible in the banking world - expansion and new products. Happens all the time, over and over.

Also remember that the document you have put up was a prospectus for listing and we know how they are done in Kenya. That was a line written as a comment that is not presented in a financial statement.

Equity Bank will need more buys in regional growth plan
https://www.businessdail...0864-xk08gmz/index.html
> Will Equity need to raise capital?
Or reduce the dividend?
Or a scrip dividend?
Or Bodo is being overly cautious?

After all, Equity is profitable regionally and can expand slowly, sensibly and profitably using the new tools at its disposal. Instead of the "big ticket" deals, it can expand using the SME and MSME route using mobile banking.
