Surely if everything is political, is there any value to stating that "fact"... @fellifel put accross this statement as if being political is a characteristic unique to EB...

To start with, it might be fortunate or unfortunate how equity bank might have turned the face of banking in this country, but it leaves questions to be asked. The fact that equity is doing big is because of backing from the topmost authority in the country, with government funding passing through the bank, Youth development fund, women devlopment funds.
The expansion rate for the bank leaves so much to be suspected.If in doubt, ask yourself why banks that have been around for quite a while like the Co-operative Bank have not had such expansion rates despite mainly catering for the low income earners. In short, this is a classic case of a pyramid scheme, only these time, its on a large scale. For the price of a share to shoot to an all time high for a company that has been on the stock exchange for less than a year leaves a lot to be desired. Since there inception till now they may have changed there strategy but with the sort of returns and basing on there asset value, the bank is on a ride that is too good to be true. Now change of regime may not affect it much but it will affect it.

@fellifel

Have you asked yourself why the development funds are passing through Equity? There is no other bank that has been supportive of the SME than Equity. They lend to them. They could have gotten the nod to handle the funds purely on merit. They understand the target better than the other banks who at their best had turned their back against ordinary kenyans.

EB was the first bank to hit 1M plus customers, did those customers open accounts because it is political?

Do i bank with NIC because it is /or not political?

Who buys a product because it is political?
