Today I had to visit several banks to carry out some transactions

1) Coop bank at Tmall - virtually empty. No time spent in a queue
2)National Bank kenyatta avenue-similarly no queue at all
3)CBA near city Hall - same story. Zero time on the queue
4)Barclays Queens way - all seats taken up and its quite a big banking hall. Spent quite some time in the queue

Was left wondering. Does it mean BBK is still a popular bank?

I had this notion that people deserted banks like BBK.

Or is it just the branch location?





Isn't getting customers out of the banking hall the in-thing for most banks??

They allow over 10% price movement for Ex dividend? My broker's portal doesn't accept prices outside that limit :(

the use of 'this' makes it specific to Q1-2019. I think the amounts will be variable per quarter.

"will be incurred throughout the separation period"
It may not be 243mn per quarter but somewhat similar. They said it will be a multi-billion affair!
243 x 8 = 2bn (approx)

243mn is an actual re-branding cost incurred during 1Q19 - see exceptional items on PL statement
Cost can only escalate for 'ABSA' to be visible

I may have misread the article. I thought the estimated cost of the separation was 2bn spread over 8 quarters. They may not spend it equally each quarter but it would add to +/- 2bn.

In the grand scheme, it is not a lot of money for BBK:
1) 1Q19 PBT was 2.9bn so the full amount could be covered by a single normal quarter if they so chose.
2) Some costs may be covered/reimbursed by ABSA (SA).
3) Some costs are for upgraded systems which will benefit them for many more years.
4) Training costs on upgraded systems would have been a cost regardless of the separation.

BBK have been restructuring since year 2000. Every 2 years they have had exceptional costs in their books. Meanwhile their profitability has fallen from a dominant position 1 to 9.

BBK is a typical case of management focussing on quarter on quarter profits growth instead of long term value creation. While other banks concentrate on current trends like banking Wanjiku, mobile banking and 24/7 customer support, BBK concentrates on costs reduction and spinning off divisions.

I am no seer but BBK's fortunes are in a downward spiral. Even ABSA will not save it from the spiral. I foresee an ultimate sale to one of the local banks, most likely to NIC-CBA.

I have noticed the same over the last 2 years. I have had this share for ages but i think it is time to move. No innovations, flat/declining profits compared to 'others'. Sentimentally it feels bad but it is the right thing to do. Destination Safcom!!! smile

Between 2013-2018 kcb and safaricom have tripled their dividend, BBK has remained flat

Barclays ‘spent Sh479m to lay off workers in 2018’
https://www.businessdail...43818-ryknfb/index.html
The 2017 restructuring that saw 323 staff exit the bank.
2018: 479mn

"Sh387 million spent as part of a continuing process of separating from London-based Barclays Plc" - wasn't this 243mn?

At the rate BBK is shrinking its staff and network compared to its peers, it will soon be overtaken by Tier 2 banks!

Finally somebody provided explanation how did Barclays managed to post such high profits in 2018. Simple and most stupid management solution is to lay off workers. I have never seen that this strategy is bringing some results in a long run, because it does not deal with real business problem

Most banks are automating.. Even stanbic bank these days have only one cashier and to deposit money you have to use ATM if you don't want to stand in the queue but again that has its own disadvantages also like currently you cannot deposit new notes via ATM and all
