This was bound to happen after Centum takeover and its re-branding. They kind of had majority of employees still old skul type earning handsomely because of longevity.

Worked for this bank a for few years in the early 00's. Hard to imagine it was once bigger that Equity, had one MD Kimanthi Mutua for ages and a very conservative philosophy when it came to innovations and got badly left behind.

Were still insisting on SME group lending when Equity was poaching it's customers with the enducement of individual SME loans and then embarked on a disastrous restructuring experiment whose legacy was the move of HQ from Kawangware to Hurlingham with a veiw to attract well heeled clients, that saw It make a mixture of subdued profits & small losses for a decade or so while their peers were making supernormal profits setting the stage for politically connected centum to eventually come in with its own set of challenges (Read NYS loot deposits)

Sidian claws back from losses on loans growth
https://www.businessdail...44230-ak2nkr/index.html

“As part of the financing agreement, IFU will have the option within the first three years, to convert the outstanding principal loan into equity which will translate to shareholding of approximately 20 percent of the bank,” said Sidian Bank board chairman and Centum CEO James Mworia.

>>> The loan is for Shs 1.2bn. A small profit but a profit nonetheless. Applause
