I attended the virtual agm. Management admitted that there were hiccups in the integration process which affected customer service.


Heard there is mistreatment of customers who were formerly at NIC.
For example fictitious deductions if you had a credit facility with NIC.
Terms also been changed for account holders

Quote:

... there is a storm in NCBA’s online platforms. Under every post the bank makes, there are often customers complaining of one inconvenience or another; be it a failed ATM withdrawal, slow customer care response, non-responsive systems among others. Others are blunt enough to write that the merger reduced the quality of service they used to enjoy.

Mr Gachora admits that there are issues, and most of them are to do with merging of the banking systems. Over the past few weeks, he says, the group has been merging customer details. Initially, the core banking systems existed separately and were inter-connected with a bridging software. While the bridging worked, he says, it did not offer access to all data, and it was not uncommon for a former CBA customer to be referred to an NIC branch.

“We wanted to take away that noise by having one uniform experience for our customers. That is why we decided to merge our systems, almost a year down the line,” he says.

“Now, merging two banking systems is very difficult,” adds Mr Gachora . The works done so far, he notes, have ensured seamless operation of branches but there is still more to do.

“Mobile banking was unstable for a while; now I think we’ve got everything stable,” he says.

“What has really taken time to work is online banking. And the reason that has taken time to work is that what we did was to combine all the customers onto one online banking platform; whether you are ex-CBA or ex-NIC. And what we have found is that the capacity tripled; or the required capacity tripled. And that is causing a lot of problems.”

Safaricom rewards ethical hackers if they can find bugs in there products. So what you are you saying is not far fetched.Applause
NCBA should follow suit since no system is invincible.

Tough times for bankers as NCBA draws first blood

Quote:
NCBA has become the first bank since the coronavirus pandemic hit Kenya to retrench workers, signaling tough times ahead for bankers.

Mr Gachora said the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic has also forced them to reorganise its business model, with unspecified number of employees expected to go home in the next two months.

“Today, I announce that we are embarking on a process to reorganise our workforce which will result in reduction of staff headcount,” said Gachora in a statement to employees.

The re-organisation will be done in two-folds, with the first phase entailing a voluntary exit programme (VEP) which will see employees who wish to exit the company to do so with a benefits package.

In the second phase, whose outcome will depend on the VEP, workers will be declared redundant.

Expect disappointing Q3 and Q4 results.
Aside from COVID-19 pandemic effects the bad loans it inherited from NIC is weighing heavily on the bank.

I am surprised he wasn't axed after the merger. NIC has performed poorly under him. When he came in there were major NPLs taken to give him somewhat of a clean slate.

Can't be axed with reasons only known to them.

Things must be really thick in this bank and their sentiments indicate it may get worse in the coming months.
