I've always defended BBK but today has been my worst experience. In a span of less than 24 hrs, the following have occured:

a) Their Mpesa to BBK account via lipa na mpesa is effected the next day if you transact after 3 pm. Woe unto you if it's a Friday. Who does not have realtime Mpesa/Bank interface in 2015??

b) Paypal transaction via BBK debit card failed, despite over 1hr chat with customer care. Issue was escalated to IT and they were to call me. I give them benefit of the doubt here though. It could be an issue with Paypal

c) I gave up and decided to transfer the cash to another provider. I did an Account to Mpesa transfer from BBK online banking. As fate would have it, their systems are experiencing issues with Mpesa. I don't know if other banks are affected. The annoying thing is that the reversal can only be done tomorrow (or next working day) after they receive recon files from safcom. Yet the money is already debited from my account. Basically I can't access the money from Mpesa or my account. That's a very dangerous thing to do to a customer if you ask me. Especially in case of an emergency

Guys, how is it then that KCB is valued highest at NSE ahead of Equity?

I agree, KCB is proudly leading from the bottom,

NIC could easily be the best at service delivery with a portal that ensures you rarely have to go to the bank and good turn around time.

My experience, KCB is one of those leading from the bottom - I am happy with services at StanChart and NIC Bank so far - customer services of both are up there!

@Joan, are agents able to reverse a transaction? I know a person who insists on bank branch receipts (though similar with the agents but with addition of the agent name) because of the reversals.

Mike,

I hate to the one to break it to you but yeah, you've been wasting your precious minutes. Once you go agent, you never go back. Try it.

Mike,

Why not use an Equity agent?

It's Equity leading from the bottom... I always dread the queues especially when paying my rent!

Is there any survey rating banks in Kenya? Especially based on service delivery and customer satisfaction?

I do not know which one is the market leader but i am certain co-op bank might be leading from the bottom.
