RE: UPDATE ON NUFAIKA SAVINGS ACCOUNT

Commercial Bank of Africa Limited (CBA) wishes to announce that in line with the Banking (Amendment) Act, 2016 we have carried out a detailed review of all our products and services with a view to simplifying our offering and providing more value to our customers.

Your account number and other details will remain unchanged.

Account Name: Prosaver Savings Account
Features

· Opening and Operating balance of Kshs. 10,000.00*

· Minimum interest earning balance of Kshs. 10,000.00

· One withdrawal allowed per month otherwise interest is forfeited.

· Withdrawals are restricted to ‘over the counter’.

· Any withdrawals leading to a balance below the specified minimum operating level will lead to transfer of such amounts to a non-interest bearing transactional account and / or onward closure of the said Savings Account.

· Access to personal overdraft and loans of up to 75% of savings account balance

· Mobile and internet banking – account viewing rights and intra account transfers

CBA management is showing very poor leadership here.

First it was loan at 12.9%, then they revised to 14.5%, now it is mobile money loan , what else don't they know ?.

[quote=maka]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

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

Congrats for speaking with @citizen001 but you should have asked him how the "government shall pull down borrowing rates for itself" when in fact we know the rates are market driven (through auctions)

Beg to differ. The auctions are driven mainly by banks.. Now that banks are pushed to the wall on consumer lending, expect government to show a stiff hand


Rates at the auction won't come down anytime soon....that 10 year was just a start.

91, 182, 364 day bills all down.. Expect the shorter tenor to hit 6.5% by December.. As per Graham's law, the bulls at the NSE must show up shortly.. http://www.businessdaily...4800-b0eb44z/index.html[/quote]

As per my predictions, the dance between banks and Government in pricing billsand bonds has begun. Banks cannot afford to flood CBK with offers! They will have to worksmart.

The race to the bottom by GOK now in play.. Uhuru is a genius of some sort http://www.businessdaily...383760-diyj1o/index.html

Banks are simply converting most accounts to non-interest earning accounts. Barclays and KCB leading. So much for the law being an ass.

Quote:
Effective 14th Sep ‘16, KCB Jiinue a/c is now a non-interest earning transactional account Click ke.kcbbankgroup.com/home/accounts/transactional-accounts/jiinue


Dear Customer, KCB Mapato account is now a non-interest earning transactional account. Visit ke.kcbbankgroup.com/home/accounts/transactional-accounts/mapato


They are not converting anything, just move your deposits to victoria Bank, Transnational Bank or any other of the 42 competitiors and they will soon shika adabu


Then your money goes down the drain like that of those who banked with Imperial

Banks are science driven. Reduce lending to Wanjiku, convert/make earning the 7.35% interest hard by doing the above or increasing amounts required maybe etc. I hear NBK has sent memos that if you have bad borrowing history you're already disqualified and credit officers to only forward 'clean' loan applications.
