They need to form a Holding Company then put Equity Bank, Britam and HFCK under it. Give shareholders of each entity shares in the 'parent' [Holding Company] so the 3 firms are 100% subsidiaries.

Britam/Equity Holdings will now be a Financial Supermarket but its subsidiaries operate independently [though each will cross-sell products].

HFCK concentrates on mortgages & property development.
Britam provides long-term funds to HFCK and its core insurance business.
Equity does what it does best. Banking.

Equitel can be a subsidiary of Britam/Equity Holdings with very close links to all 3 finance entities.


This has been in pipeline since last year...

@VVS they should have you on the board.

When britam bought the 24% HFCK stake i thought to myself, if i would have known this earlier, i would have been a britam shares buyer from a long time ago.

As an analyst, I met & listened to the Britam guys. I like Benson Wairegi & his team. And they are significant shareholders. Skin in the Game. This gave me extra confidence. I sold out coz the price has overtaken the value per my calculations and I have limited funds so re-deployed them.

That analysis clears the air on the side of Member but Safcom are quite unhappy with all these happenings and of course guarding Mpesa is a priority here. Which way next, for the two?

Did not know MPesa is so expensive, at a reported 15% according to Equity - they say they want to charge 1%. Good propaganda though, must irk the green hill...

The thin sim card was the game changer.I hope CAK will give us the much needed alternative, else we will be suffocating under the better option!

Even if equity uses normal sim,it can be by far better than all other money transfers in affordability,their fortune is agents,atms and bank coverage.

Safaricom will then present a court case which will drag on forever forcing Equity to launch on normal SIM for the moment.
