Barclays seeks to sell three closed branches at Sh65m
https://www.businessdail...83632-md3wvz/index.html

In 2017, the bank had closed Moi Avenue, Haile Selassie, Waiyaki Way, Kawangware, Rahimtulla, Nakummatt Meru and Wundanyi branches. This cut branch network from 96 to 89.

Bamburi, Maragua and Supplies branches are now up for sale.



Very sad. I remember this branch in the early 80s. My mom would travel 50kms on a very bad road to transact once a quarter. She remained very loyal and sad to see its now closed

They used to close their branches out of spite. Now they close branches because there is no business for them.

Their papers and wallet have been ok for the last few years but what i wonder is whats the deal with all this closing of branches, is it a sign of inability to get new customers, cost cutting to keep the balance sheets pretty, or some part of some moving to digital strategy...

Is it a good thing?

The idea is to see whether a bank is getting more in interest income or it's giving more in interest expense.
Divide what they paid in interest expense over interest income.

Your research isn't conclusive:

1. BBK doesn't show a consistent superiority in the above indicators;
2. The indicators themselves don't give a reliable conclusion on any one issue e.g. profitability, quality of loan book or efficiency in use of equity/ assets;
3. Left out other lenders useful for comparison eg DTB; NIC; Stanbic; SCB;NBK

My research covered the health aspect of the Lenders.The motive was to know which are healthy and which are sick.From the above statics,Barclays is very much healthy.I was surprised its healthier than co-op.
The best comparison is with top three in profitabilty which i tried to link.
With an NPL of 8%,thats ver much commendable.

Based on my statistics,the reason is consolidation.They are trying to preserve their capital.They are no longer the market leaders they used to be and have accepted the reality.
They took a more conservative approach thats neither robust(like kcb and equity) nor a mean approach(like co-op).
Going forward,i see them stabilising slowly and buoyed by separation from the UK father,they will try to grow slowly.

They recently approved a loan for 300 million shillings to choppies super market. I don't have any link to prove but it's a true fact came out of a senior manager in Barclays
