more than a dozen. in reality though, there is one dominant state-owned behemoth called commercial bank of ethiopia. kama nakumbuka, CBE assets are like 70 percent of the country's entire banking industry's.

It's better/safer for Safcom to partner to first partner with a decent "private" bank than a large state-owned bank. CBE may have breadth but usually such banks have lots of siasa so bureaucracy and nationalism would run rife. A smaller (private) bank can implement M-Pesa faster [though it needs to get Ethioptel on board] and has an incentive to expand its mobile outreach. Think CBA (Kenya) with limited branches yet M-Shwari in conjunction with Safaricom spread all over Kenya. KCB was a late entrant. Equity's relationship with Safcom soured.

I hope Safcom can crack the market coz it will be huge for them!!!
