Though both banks are growing at a fast rate, DTB's rise this past year has been phenomenal. The NIC share price has been increasing over the last few weeks, though at a slow pace. I would pick DTB over NIC if told to choose one. I have both (I think I have too many banks)

Both good banks. I go with NIC because it is usually more conservatively priced than DTB, or more coz i am heavily involved in it.

I will choose DTB, although it has a lower par value of Ksh 4.00 as compared to NIC's 5 bob, it has half as much the listed shares and with the thin trades there can be sustainable gains.

I find the two very similar. In terms of stage of growth, continually rising profits and growth. Both are very good investments. However. Over the last few yrs, DTK has grown at a faster rate. Dtk also has a more aggressive expansion strategy and is doing well in uganda. Has started in rwanda. I find NIC'S strategy less aggressive but i love their diversification. I'd choose both. With dtk first on the list. Due to their brighter future prospects.

Its actually Burundi where they have I think 2 branches or so. Both NIC and DTB are peer banks but smart money would be on DTB as recent press reports indicate they are going continental in coming years.
