I've tarmacked the whole town but all Equity ATMs are out of cash while in the banking halls you get qeues snaking all the way out even in the so called 'corporate' sections. It's such a pain that you can't access your own hard earned cash because the bank is always overwhelmed at the end of the month. Why are all salaries paid on the same day? I wish all civil servants could be paid,say on 15th. I have had enough with Equity and Safcom............Barclays and Celtel...here I come

@Jaribu

Celtel is long dead... if you wont use Zain,try Yu - and no one will hassle you...... free to call even 10 numbers at a go with clarity guaranteed... For banking,try K-rep Bank.

Also stay away from Barclays. They are utter tosh! You'll be better off at Stanchart or even CBA.

@Jaribu - That is what it means to be a member! But you better stay away from Barclays - you'd better be thinking of CBA or Stanchart.

@Jaribu - thanks for walking away from SCOM - I wish more people could see the benefits. But don;t walk away from equity - let your moment of impatience pass and you will realise that when you really NEED your bank,they will be there for you. I'm not a shareholder and neither do I work for Equity - just an account holder who has leaned more on Equity in 3 years and found comfort (than from Barclays and Stancharts for anything between 5-10 years - and gotten charged for almost anything and even suffered much inconvenience despite the 'upmarket' image they pose. Stay with equity - the queues move,they feel you,they help you. Barclays....go ahead....but first identify a good psychiatrist.

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less

Good people,is Barclays that bad? anyone who mentions it has a 'dont touch' as the next phrase if it was not at the beginning! i thought with the mushrooming of so many banks and micro finances they have styled up?

@Wendz: That would be the general perception. But unfortunately, BBK have stood still in that they have maintained the same employees who don't seem to give a hoot about customer service. Try going there with a complaint about a statement or with a credit card enquiry or to apply for a loan. It is a nightmare. Chase Bank even rank better than BBK for customer service.

A few months ago, they completely messed up a payroll for a company in Industrial Area. They game the FD's salary to a messenger and according to the company, the schedule accompanying the instructions to disburse the salaries had no mistake in it. BBK have refused to accept liability!

Stay with Equity,hii ni benki ya mtu wa kawaida,but avoid branches kama ya kayole na kariobangi north if u can,they are always crowded.

Avoid BBK at all costs and if you a have a BBK credit card,soon you will realise the meaning of the word 'Shylock'.

@djinn,

thanks for that. i travel alot in kenya and find equity in the remotest corners of the land. so i can't really move out kabisa but surely,i have to open another savings account just to avoid the end month madness. if equity and safcom don't sort themselves out with their congestions,kenyans will dump them sooner ama laterz... jameni Equity can make you starve,something is just not right somewhere!
