Asked for a loan of 4m (Banking with them for 6 yrs with transactions for about 600k monthly). The manager said the same thing to my face - " you dont sell anything physical hence the reservation to approve your loan - not that i am in default or blacklisted or anything of the sort. Walked up the street to another bank (bank B)- they asked me for statements from Bank A and to open an account which i did... Next morning - pre-approved for 10m I go to transfer my cash and close the account in bank A and two managers come to beg me to keep my account

Without naming names:-
1. Banks that require you to file 100 pages of documentation before you can open an account;
2. Banks that will not let a third party deposit a cheque into your account, unless the third party is your agent;
3. Banks that treat you like you are a bother rather than their customer;
4. Banks that pay 0.5% per annum as interest on savings account;
If you know such banks, take your business elsewhere and avoid investing in their shares. I see all of them doing that. Tip me which one is heavily notorious Without naming names. One recently issued a profit warning. Very loaded message. The word colonial already gives away the hint  I thought that colonial bank said they are selling off their african biz Some of these colonial Banks they make much much more profit from African banks than their mother banks. For example they charge internet banking fees in Africa because they feel it's a privilege they are giving Africans but in their own origin country they will never think of suggesting such a draconian idea.competition there are too stiff.

They stated earlier they are old banks and probably colonial .so it's true .they are top 5.

In short i overpaid  Even if you owe 10/- or so, is it really worth their while to report to CRB? Or is it just extortion? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Elephant Man wrote:@iris...It's possible. Many table banking groups/chama's are not skilled investors. They might never have heard of the term compounding. However, they lend to each other at between 10% and 20% per month... Ebu do the math... Damn! Talk about loan sharking. Even M-Shwari is not as much of a shark with 7% per month! I would lend but not borrow from the Chama! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Whereas I question why 'colonial' banks do not offer free internet banking, which local bank has truly free internet banking? Not just view transactions but actually make transactions? I tried a RTGS transaction and was charged 500/- the same as going in-branch! It's much cheaper to write chqs (under 1mn) and send a messenger to deliver them! A bank I used offered 'free' mobile banking. And then I got whacked with 100/- or so when I used it. They claim these were USSD session charges by Safaricom. CAK, CCK and CBK should penalize there banks for shady practices. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

Safaricom does not charge 100/- for a USSD txt. For heaven sake all the local banks are connected to safcom too, why don't they charge 100/-.? "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

They are formed on principles like those of Sacco's; we're lending to each other and at year end we shall share amongst ourselves ALL the interest. Once a member you qualify for a loan, no beurocracies like in banks and other financial institutions. Everybody STEALS, a THIEF is one who's CAUGHT stealing something of LITTLE VALUE. !!!

Why would take a loan at 10% PM when you can get much cheaper elsewhere?

It was a number of charges at 7/- a session [I was debited in 7 or multiples of 7]. I have no idea how the sessions were calculated but it was roughly 100/- by the time I was done. I never used the service again. James Mwangi said Equitel will not charge per USSD session during one of his presentations. Greedy when others are fearful.

Its these charges from safaricom that made up one of the reasons Equity to start Equitel If they can fully implement the equitel thing fully and have their own mobile app, this thing will go far .on the security aspect it will be super fine because they own the network (network security) and also they are the same bank(bank security) .this is better than third party security firms to secure the apps and network located somewhere at silicon valley or of the sort.
