In the history of Kenyan banks, no bank has ever collapsed because they lent to Wanjiku and that is a FACT. Be patient it's early days  . Time for reckoning will come. I'm sure you don't know Rural Urban creidt, Jimba credit, kenya savings & mortgages, Union bank of kenya etc nowadays its saccos, i believe its hard. those where politically fueled credit shops to fleece your village Exactly. Please give examples of banks that collapsed because they lent too much to common mwananchi. All banks that have collapsed to date was due to illegal insider lending or politically connected lending. Even the so called small banks will survive as long as they do prudent business. Downsize your staff, find a niche to lend to and do clean business. Even with as little as 1b to lend, a spread of 6% gives you 60m in gross income a year. Pretty decent cash. Just downsize and do clean business and leverage on technology. For once, the bank owners will have to use their money to make money. No more making outrageous profit from other peoples money. I repeat, no bank that does clean business will collapse. Banks that are already doing shady deals will collapse because the tap has been switched off. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G. Massey.

One way that banks have found to go around the rate cap regulation is to play around with tenor of a loan. Some have capped unsecured loan at 3yrs only and some at 1yr. This will accommodate the so called " high risk borrower" without punishing the good risk ones by having differing tenor for different risk categories. I think we needed this bill to stimulate innovative thinking in our bankers. They must find it difficult....... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority. -G.

Banks that impose unnecessarily strict regimes of lending will suffer. This is an opportunity for a new "equity" to be born.
Banks that are overly strict will end up seeing the doldrums while those that adapt will see customer base grow.
In my laymans opinion, it may be positive for the exonomy as a whole

Why are you gonna wait for an year when things are already unfolding Ref to post #1122 and 1128 and Kastone gave the explanation "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

One wonders @murchr! Why is @Obi "waiting" for things that are ALREADY happening??? Is it Barclays or which bank that sent messages to loan holders informing them of the reduction in interest rates on existing loans but they will have to be "collateralized"? Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

This guys at CBA sijui M-suari will not know what hits them when they will be awake! M-Shwari loan charge not interest, CBA tells customersLook at this: I get a loan from Member at 1.2% pm with zero "charge". I get a free loan from CBA at a charge of 7.5% pm. Where do you think I will head to get some money? No brainer argument from this CBA.  Portfolio: Sold
