For that sort of rent, I would come bearing gifts for you as I come to collect the chapaa! @vvs - There is a MINIMUM charge for RTGS even if you are sending 10 bob!!! For most banks it is 400/= and above!! So one transaction covers your sim cost!!! My point wasn't the RTGS cost but the rent...  ... For 400/- one can afford to pay by couriered cheque. Question: Can one use Equitel to send money to you if you have an account at any other bank [not Equity]?
What's the cost of sending 90,000/- [the max allowed as I understand it but I may be mistaken] using Equitel to SCBK? What does it show up as on SCBK's end? [EFT, RTGS, etc] Timeframe for the transfer? [2 minutes, 2 hours, etc] As at now not possible. But Equity to Equity is at a click. I pay rent using Equitel. My problem with them is they havent set up paybills at fuel stations, supermarkets, restaurants etc ..and that is where Mpesa clobbers them. It's possible to transfer funds from your Equity account to another Bank using Equitel, i've actually tried it and it worked kama RTGS......what i'm not sure of is how much they charge.

The charge is graduated but capped at 200 Kes. Todays Business daily has an article on the same They are running on Kenswicth for inter bank transfers meaning they are instant. This is the best product for money transfer.You can transfer to Bank account, to Mpesa,Airtel money and even to any mobile number. So if I have it I can send money to anyone.Personally mostly I send money not receiving all I ask where do you want it,Bank, Mpesa, or Airtel? Africa belongs to Africans.

Equity to equity it's free, thus no need to use that lip aren't if you're an a/c holder, that's what I mean.

Lakini, this Sikolia Kisaka is complicit. His profile shows he worked for Safaricom in 8 years, maybe he's looking to be reabsorbed. Safaricom's stands, say like at the Airport, are sometimes unmanned. Similar action by James Mwangi would be viewed as being in bad faith.

It will be interesting to see the progress of this after the vigorous advertisement going on,iam finding it in every media and most websites "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
