Hi Aki,

the service is for individuals and primarily targets the unbanked population who find it easier to transact using mpesa so corporates are locked out by this...

I agree with AKI, can anyone shed more light on the details of the product. Interest rates, or banking charges and is this applicable for corporates that hold an account with equity?

Have a great day!

Warm regards,
Amarjit Singh Labhuram.

@Gentlemen, thank you for the links and info. Indeed it is a new
development and since you may know more, lets actually go into
specific details about this development.

Firstly, a point of clarification is needed and corrections are
welcome. Safcoms hold a bank account that allows mpesa transactions.
There are billions of Kshs that get transacted on this account and
each time people use it to hold financial amounts, has Safcom been
earning huge interest from you and not been paying you any accumulated
interest amounts?  Say eg : you held 35,000/- kshs in your mpesa
account and did not transact it for 30 days and going by what banks
can offer on short term interests, would your money have grown by 1% ?

Secondly, what is the excat value of the the new product to kenyans?
Equity has been offering low income banking services for a while, what
changes now with the new development?

Asante. :-)
