I am told by a friend who is safcom staff that the MPesa float is exclusively at CBA (who can obviously lend at 14%plus).
In return Safcom have a deal where CBA lends to Safcom staff at the low single digit %rates... I hear even better rates than CBA staff.
Also they get working capital CHEAP just so CBA can hold the MPesa!
Anyone with info to corroborate / dispute this SMART-WORKAROUND?
