I find the KYC thing rather strange. What is it that the government cant find out about you if it really wants to? 

Your Bank account is tied to your ID which should Ideally be foolproof. How do the Americas do it? Do the British have IDs?

Any bank that opens an account without asking a million questions and requiring you to fill 1001 forms is definitely flouting a lot of rules. The KYC requirements from KBA/regulatory authorities is very comprehensive.

So getting an account in 5 mins is not necessarily a good thing. Same way in some countries you cannot just buy a sim card.

Just saying

hehe kwani Jared you don't want to pay for a loan? I'm guessing anyone
would nag you if you past the due date...

I'd go with DTB. My account has been there 8 years now, I opened a business
account in 10 minutes flat, got email notifications on transfers, email
indemnity so I can email instructions, at one time the manager cleared a
check I had issued and funds had delayed just because I was his first
customer for the day. Maybe something to do with that indian thing of you
must make that sale if it's the first. Opened a subsequent USD and EURO
account over the phone and operated them for years (since they already had
my docs). They now have a decent mobile app. They were also instrumental in
15 minute transfers from DTB burundi to DTB kenya even if they were
different banks with same brand. Also opened a pall's account over the
phone and was active, but was given 60 days to produce documentation. Not
bad.

Only downside is they don't offer unsecured loans.

On Airtel, it asks for a certificate based authentication. You need the
owner of the site to sambazia you their public cert I think.

it's working for me.

Remember you need the client certificate issued by Vodaphone before you
can access it.
