Sh30bn airtime lending raises Safaricom profile in credit market

Mobile phone subscribers borrowed up to Sh30 billion worth of airtime or nearly a third of the total airtime Safaricom sold last year, underlining how critical telecoms operators have become in the credit market.

Equity Group grew its loan book by 50bn while KCB grew by 62bn for the full year 2015. Okoa Jahazi Bank is half way the amount of the big banks do. Remarkable

Explains why Equity chose to go with Equitel instead of being locked in with Safaricom.

Given that Safcom's take in okoa jahazi is just Kes 5 from 50/- credit....that amount is insane!

The regulator needs to reign in! Safaricom's Okoa jahazi interest is more than shylock charges considering time value of money!!!

Hellios Telkom kenya will give safaricom a run for their money in the mobile business based on the way the company is being reorganised.
Airtel will either close shop or be sold to the highest bidder

Safaricom charge a fee not an interest. They do not have a lending licence.

Quite amazing mpesa bank is almost hitting 1 trillion in market cap and few wanjikus are not on board. The GFC bear and 2011 bear made wanjikus so negative to ever want to touch it. So when Wanjikus troop back in as the rocket phase kicks in, that will become one giant bubble of epic propositions...!!
