1. Equity, Family Bank, Co-op etc, who largely cater for Wanjiku will be the worst affected because they are technically in a riskier business. The quality of their customers is very bad i.e largely Wanjiku.
2. KCB, I&M, DTB etc that cater for the upper middle class and the affluent (for KCB it is institutions), they will be better positioned because their customers have a higher value and less risk.
Assuming two banks lend at 14.5%, Equity and I & M, I & M will have less to worry about considering the nature of its customers. This bill is a kick in the nuts of James Mwangi and Gideon Muriuki I beg to differ,banks that have a wide footprint and bank the ordinary mwananchi will have access to deposits at almost zero cost since they will be paying nothing for the small deposits in their customer accounts. Infact the banks that will have the lowest cost on their deposits will win the coming war. With the capping it means the battle for quality clients is on,it will all be about who can offer the lowest of the lowest interest rate to that bluechip customer. what are you saying? The Act stipulates that banks should pay atleast 70% of the CBR rate to customer deposits, How then will the small banks access deposits at zero cost? If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

You must differentiate between current account deposits and fixed /savings account deposits.It will be ridiculous to expect a bank to pay you interest on deposits you will be withdrawing tomorrow without notice.You can also expect the banks to raise the the threshold for interest bearing deposits.

Its only fixed accounts which should enjoy the 70% of the CBR rate...what banks will do is simply to raise the minimum balance to open a saving account to be something like Kes.1,000,000...anything less will be taken to the current account, which will be charged exhobitant ledger fees.

This whole hullabaloo about risk of the customer is just theories created by banks to keep rates high. If I can lend to you 100k at 24%, why should I not lend it to you at 14%. Are you more likely to default at 24% or at 14%. Its all nonsense ceated by the banking industry. They will lend to Wanjiku at 14% as long as Wanjiku has not defaulted on a previous loan. Banks will just have to work harder at vetting the borrowers, to seperate the grain from the chaff. Like I said before, it will be a dance between banks and Government. Too much money chasing govt paper and the rate will come down. Banks will be forced to create a balance between lending to govt or lending to Wanjiku. Banks cannot afford to be awash with cash. Thats a fact. Watch this space. In fact , if you are employed, earning good money in a stable job, get ready to start getting spammed by these banks. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

Interest rates have been capped but financial institutions will have a free hand in composing APR which will be definitely above 20%.

Look at this; This month the Central Bank of Kenya offered a 10 year Treasury Bond for a total amount of up to Kshs 25 Billion. The total number of bids received was 795 amounting to Kshs 26.31 Billion. The Weighted average rate for successful bids was 15.039% Coupon 15.039% crazy...even after WHT its good cash possunt quia posse videntur

Coupon 15.039% crazy...even after WHT its good cash I spoke to the president and his take was that the government shall pull down borrowing rates for itself, which is a good thing.. Expect government to obtain cheap credit. Watch the tbill rate slide down in coming months. We live in good times

Does the new act differentiate between normal loan and mobile loan. The bill addressed BANKS and FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS only. If the loan is from a BANK expect it to be capped. Your accessing the money through mobile, TT, Cheque, SWIFT, cash, etc should be immaterial. Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.
