I am considering the process of buying pieces of land around Nairobi...mostly between 350k and 500k. To do this, I will need an institution where I can save the cash and be withdrawing the cash after 4-6 months to buy a plot, constantly repeating the process. Where can I get interest on my deposits on a monthly or quarterly basis? What are the interest rates and under what conditions?

FIXED DEPOSITS
EQUITY BANK
No brochure but they calculate when you tell them the figure. e.g for 500k.
3 moths - 5.75%
6 months - 6.25%
12 months - 6 %

COOP BANK
50 K - 1 M is as below.
1 month 3 - 3.75 %
2 months 3.55 - 4.25 %
3 months 3.75 - 4.5 %
6 months 4.25 - 5 %
12 months 4.5 - 5.25 %
NB
% is per annum (p.a) therefore for a month you divide the rate by 12.
There is CALL. rates; means you make a phone call improtu.
Family bank.is close to but less than coops

In Kenya,

I&M Bank

For 50,000 to 1m.
1 month - 7.50 %
3 months - 8.50 %
6 months - 6.5 %
12 months - 6 %

All are PA.

Also Try bank Of Baroda . I know for 1m you can get 8% + for 6 months with some sweet talk.


Our Neighbours Uganda,

Crane Bank
http://www.cranebanklimi.../accounts/fixed-deposit
11% PA for 6 months Starting at 35,000 KShs.
12.5% PA for 1 Year...

Not too bad a little risky regarding the conversion rates..but 6 months will not make a significant difference!!

Good idea. I have constantly done the same - buying plots on yearly basis. Now thinking of selling some of them to develop one or two for cash-flow purposes!
