FUNKY wrote:@ mwanahisa - You can't compare Family Bank with huge banks like CO-OP and Equity. These banks will always be ahead of Family bank. Also note Family bank is not regional even so PAT will obviously differ. let's hope the new CEO become's the JAMES MWANGI of Family Bank.
Why not?
Family Bank boasts of having a very huge client base (I think close to a million accounts), so no reason why we can't compare with CoopBank which almost has a similar no. of accounts.
A few years ago, Equity Bank was a smaller bank in comparison to the likes of KCB and Barclays. That was of course not a reason for not comparing it to them. It is certainly possible for Family Bank to aspire to be bigger than the likes of Equity. But I am not not seeing any roadmap for it.
East African operations (outside Kenya) are not the only reason for a divergence in the PAT for banks or other companies.
