Faulu Kenya now beats T-Bills for fixed deposits

For Kes. 1,000,000 deposited for 12 months Fualu gives interest of Kes.102,000 (12%) CBK's 364-day T-Bill gives Kes. 95,395 in interest. A Bank fixed deposit is now beating CBK T-bills down, I haven't seen this for a very loooong time. How safe is this Faulu thing? Why are guys still oversubscribing T-Bills at the rate of over 300% when we have "free" money at Faulu Kenya?  Portfolio: Sold

the big question is how viable is this faulu rate or is it a way of raising capital

The ad I saw said 12% What hidden charges are there on T-Bills? Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Its just a question of how secure you feel between faulu and cbk "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."

@Impunity, hesabu zakukanganya. 364 day Tbill is attracting an interest rate of 12.676% which is higher than the 12% being given by Faulu 364 T Bill rate link >>> http://www.centralbank.go.ke/im...ts/1978-182-1895-364.pdf

Interestingly, they don't have their financial reports in the website.... makes you think, doesn't it? Also, earlier this morning, I thought I saw two ads in that website: one saying that fixed deposits are paying 13% and another one saying 12%. It is also not clear whether what they are advertising is after or before withholding tax.... now talk about "hidden" charges! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

T-Bill computation is NOT done in the simple layman way you are imagining...the %age for T-Bill may e higher than that of Fixed bank depos but in absolute terms the results from computation is not the same. How many strong D's did you score in maths in your entire lower classes? Portfolio: Sold

How many strong D's did you score in maths in your entire lower classes? You don't need to know the math; CBK announces the effective rate and then does all the workings for you and tells you how much to pay. As an investor - not a mathematician - all you need to know is the interest rate in order to make your decision! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

SMH ... that choice of words .... na wewe ni chief #Shame .... you should know that interest on TBill is paid upfront unlike in Fixed Deposits. Reinvest the interest and watch the returns shoot way up past the already juicy levels .... bottom line: The Tbill return is higher than Fixed Deposit return. Thats why Faulu (and other banks) will take your money, put it in Tbills and make profit out you .... tafakari hayo

The fact that you pay, say 97,000 for a 100,000 Bill doesn't mean that you are getting the 3,000 interest up-front! And when you roll-over the bill, the payment you get is not the interest but a refund...same as the change you get in a shop....even though it is numerically equal to the interest! Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

My simple language was intended for good clarity. … Otherwise I can say that the discount (which in layman understanding is the “interest”) on the TBill is awarded upfront.
