Hahaaa,banking traffic has shifted to mobile and safcom is almost eating that single handedly,so if it picks its huge than you think and not less than a billion.to be fair just take a quarter of what mpesa contributes to safcom and give equity for a start.

@The optimist;I like your optmism;
Equity 2014 Q1 PBT was ksh.5.4bn and HY ksh.10.8bn
KCB 2014 Q1 PBT ksh.5.6bn and HY Ksh.11.7bn
