Ouch!!!Ouch!!! "Sina float!" and you are inside the banking hall.

banking taken to stoneage days

The issue may just be a disgruntled manager at specific branches. Who is meant to avail the said float? The customer? Surely, running out of float in a bank!

Just talked to an insider and apparently that was a key recommendation from the Mckinsey review.

The bank has made huge investments in technology but they are not getting the RoI from the same. Solution; throw atleast 50% of transactions to the alternative channels i.e. Atm, Internet, Mobile and agents.

Will be interesting to watch how this turns out seeing their customers are not amused by the new strategy.


I agree they invested in technology, their ATMs can take cash deposits but they have never informed the public on the how to do it. I have had first hand bogus customer service at CO-op. I wanted to close an account that I had opened in my young years but I could not do it from any bank apart from that which I opened the account. These days my account lies domant with very minimal cash.
A relative was lured to the bank by an agent huko majuu, but after requesting them to facilitate CDSC with their EFT details, branch code, it took forever. The guy flew in for the holidays and decided to meet the diaspora banking team, he tried to reason wapi anyway, they (TITUS KOECH) later drafted the letter but sent it to CDSC without a signature and stamp (WTF), he gave up. Now the other day he calls to tell me that he received an email from the Diaspora Banking unit of Gulf African Bank..apparently some employee stole the email addresses an is luring people to the new bank. Iko shida hapa, very big.

I feel sorry for those agents at banking hall, was at coop bank tmall and saw the two ladies handling a huge bundle of cash exposed at the front desk, I know the risks involved carrying that huge cash in a simple till -money box. I witnessed mikora attacking us when we were tellers one day and we were behind those glass walls.i believe they need to offer protections for these agents.i asked one of the ladies about their safety but she said its God who protects.

Jua Kali. This is why banks like BBK & SCBL still survive in Kenya. Professionalism. d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

It is risky for the agents. Nowadays the thugs kill. Are they insured? What happens if the thugs rob a customer too?

The SACCOs majority shareholders in the bank won't agree.
What this banks needs like I always repeat is change of management.Gideon Muriuki's time in the bank is up;he has no new ideas to grow the bank to the next level.
If not careful he may be another Ciano;grow the company then finish it again.
problem is SACCOs are so unprofessionally run that the managers and not very keen on the on-goings within Co-op Bank.
CIC Insurance is on the right track while Co-op on the reverse yet they are tied to the hip

With a 31% grwoth in 3/4 year I am looking for money to add more before January. At 18 I still call it a gift. A dividend of 1Ksh is very feasible 2015FY.

100% jump in dividend payout? That would be awesome, though unlikely


This is one stock that has no wing Though floated their shares on 2008 at a reasonable price of 9.i remember I bought a good chunk almost 8 years down the road and the best it can have is 18 which is twice the original price. Even when the bull came to mate it was just 22. If you compare this with other stock like kcb equity even diamond bank they have rallied and some even split their shares in that period since 2008.the bank seem to be doing well with excellent results but I don't know what that billionaire ceo tycoon is doing. who has an idea


You've got it right. that's why i don't like this stock. The reason is that it is bogged down by having too many shares with performance not matching up

Too many shares?? Compared to Equity??


Is the growth rate the same or better since coop listed? Hence performance not matching up.

The Co-operative Bank was on Monday sued by a sacco for clearing and paying over Sh4 million through forged cheques against its account.

AAA Savings and Credit Co-operative Society has, through its lawyer C N Ngugi and Associates, filed a case at the Milimani Commercial Court, accusing the bank of causing it Sh4,046,600 loss by allowing the payment of 44 cheques against its account.

AAA claims that on diverse dates between June and September 2014, the bank, its agents, servants and employees without its authority, cleared and paid 44 forged cheques to various purported payees.

The bank debited the plaintiff’s account with various amounts of the said cheques.

According to AAA, the cheques had been stolen from a cheque book that had been issued by Co-op Bank. The book had forged signatures and therefore ought not have been cleared and paid, said the sacco.

The savings society says that the transactions were contrary and in disregard to the instruction/mandate issued by them to the lender.

The society, which runs a bank account with the bank, said that Co-op acted wrongly, negligently and recklessly by paying against the cheques that were signed by the wrong signatories.

According to the sacco, it had in letter dated January 2014 notified Co-op Bank of a change of signatories to its account pursuant to a resolution passed in meeting held on 12 of the same month.

The letter also notified the bank’s Nanyuki branch of the identity of the new signatories, as well as the signing instructions.

The letter also provided the defendant with the new signatories’ signature specimens, their designations and copies of their identity card numbers.

“The defendant failed to properly and diligently scrutinise signatures on the said cheques against signature specimens provided by the plaintiff when collecting and paying the cheques,” the suit reads.

AAA also accuses the bank of failing to make enquiries as an honest and reasonable bank would make in the circumstances.

The society now wants the court to make a judgment against the bank for the sum of Sh4,046,000 with the interest at the court rates.
