will this put brakes on Equity's advantage that it was going to have over other banks?

Will be interesting to watch. The switch is a KBA initiative and all member banks must be involved/participate. Catch-22 for Equity.

Worry not.. It will turn



@watesh, worry not. It is only 30% paper loss that you will recoup in about 2 years.

Am a big fan of top banks in the country, as long Equity focuses on growing customer numbers I will buy no matter the price.
And reducing costs. When they (soft) launched Equitel, they wanted to reduce CIR to 36% using the mobile platform to replace transactions at branches, agents and ATMs. The mobile platform cost to Equity was only 7/- per transaction.



@vvs what's your target price for equity bank since the shares are dropping ama you aren't buying anymore

I am conserving cash. I believe prices for most counters will fall as GoK tries to mop up cash by paying more for T-Bills. I saw that happen when CBK raised interbank rates to 30% when the KES was plummeted to 10.

That said, at 30/- ... I am going in for more!

I just made a bid of 40/- to add to another position i entered at 48/- sometimes back.... you are scaring me with a possibility of prices hitting 30/-

I was unable to get any at that price. The bids were at 36 but then it climbed.
