Is Equity Bank as Healthy as they potray or want us to believe?

Wamami

Implications in the unfortunate event that the bank goes under as some guys preach here? Would any sane government encourage/allow such a thing to befall its economy? Be objective.

@simonk

now where did that come from....Me think Equity will be here for a long time to come...But again stranger things have happened ...Kwani si Railways was brought down for selfish interests?

Unfortunately,you will notice a common thread of bile,basically unsubstanciated claims,concerning Equity Bank that seem to emanate from die-hard supporters of the opposition party in government(?)..it's become that predictable

Kenya collapse: impact
You're fired: impact
Accident: impact
Dead President: Impact
Somali attack: Impact
Meteorite hits Kenya: impact
You're hit by a bus in the morning: Impact

These are just some of the things that could go wrong. If you want to dwell on such things you are not wise. Ama you think the gava should begin a commission of inquiry on all kinds of random events that could occur.
The important thing is to think about such because of a real reason and risk not just to day dream. And inadvertently your 'Equity' post could be considered causing unnecessary ill repute on a bank. (And even here in SK there is a huge number of people prophesying all kinds of doom on Equity bank - mostly guided by tribal hatred and jealousy).
On a different point,what about Barclays bank collapse: Impact. Anything/Everything is possible in this world. You should only ACT on real threats - worrying about things you have no control over / you can't do anything about isn't productive.

On a different point,many countries have a rule on how much % deposit a bank is allowed to control in a given country to avoid a mega disaster in case the bank goes under.

However Equity runs a very low risk operation - bring lots of depositors and make money on their transactions. It does not engage in high risk business e.g. stocks,margin lending or any other shenanigans like pyramid schemes as some would hope and wish to believe. EB is here to stay. I'm waiting for EB to land in S.A,Ghana and Nigeria - some people here will die of envy.
