Indians are converging towards One bank I&M bank which they will use to secure financing in their projects within east Africa.
That is why the bank is growing very fast.
Indians at CFCStnabic sold to Standard Bank SA and took their money to I&M Bank
Same case applied to East Africa Building Society which was sold to Ecobank.
And the same will apply to Fina Bank which was sold to Nigerian GT Bank

Giro Bank has 0.5% market share [combined index]. I&M has 4.10%. So it doesn't get I&M over 5% [the threshold for 'big bank'] yet unless it can grab more market share from other banks.

Nevertheless, it's about gradual gains for some of these banks as they grow. A merger between I&M and NIC/DTB would have been more exciting.
