How about you get all your facts right first before making an ill informed post. They say they are reducing their stake to a non controlling position and the decision is influenced by bank of England regulatory factors.

Guys, I am not one to just spew half-baked info for kicks. The post was done after hearing a BBC story last night which included interviews with Kenyans in the street asking them what they think now that Barclays is pulling out. The Barclays representative was not Kenyan based so maybe the stories from HQ and our branch are different, who knows? Regards, Mutinda.

Before we rush to dismiss Mutinda, lets wait and see what happens. A lot of factors may come into play that may leave the bank on its knees.

One thing that is very likely to happen is retrenchment in addition to poaching from competitors and an exodus of employees. Retrenchment will lead to disgruntled employees, Cases of fraud and theft are likely to rise. Public perception has taken a negative turn. Customers are pulling out for fear of losing their money. So as much as we want to tell ourselves it will be business as usual and that the operations wont be affected much, it will be wise to watch cautiously from the side lines with your savings safely under the mattress or in any other bank.

I agree with Jimmy but in my opinion the pullout will be mainly because of the mistrust of banks like the example of the Imperial Bank. Account holders will be like ''better safe than sorry''. Employees will come next. On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 9:58 AM, Jimmy Thuo via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I think Mutinda is right and Barclays is selling their operations in Africa. They are selling their entire holding, which is 62% of Barclays Africa, meaning they will have no stake with whatever entity remains in Africa to carry on the current operations. Now 2 things will happen. One, they may strike a deal with whoever buys the stake and continue to use the Barclays brand. Two, a bigger bank like Stanchart may buy the stake and covert the Barclays brands in Africa to Stanchart. Either way, there will be serious job losses and migration to competitors. The stake is worht over USD 5 billion, so I don't smaller local banks can afford it. What we are hearing locally from Barclays in damage control. Whatever is happening is beyond their control and at this moment they can't give a definite position. But they don't want mass panic so they are saying nothing is going to change. Now to the issue of local shareholders: Their minority stake in Barclays operations such as the ones in Kenya, Uganda and other countries may be bought out by force by the new buyer or may be transferred to the whatever form of entity the new buyer establishes. If you have shares in Barclays, you may start thinking about what happens to them in a year or 2 years time when all this goes down. Think of this scenario as Kencell > Celtel > Zain > Airtel. Something always changes. On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 9:58 AM, Jimmy Thuo via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

If Barclays were closing down I doubt they would say it. They would cite nebulous reasons like "Bank of England regulatory factors" and such. Why exit the market if its good ? -- Ndungi Kyalo On 2 March 2016 at 14:02, Kennedy Kairu Kariuki via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I think Mutinda is right and Barclays is selling their operations in Africa. They are selling their entire holding, which is 62% of Barclays Africa, meaning they will have no stake with whatever entity remains in Africa to carry on the current operations.
Now 2 things will happen. One, they may strike a deal with whoever buys the stake and continue to use the Barclays brand. Two, a bigger bank like Stanchart may buy the stake and covert the Barclays brands in Africa to Stanchart. Either way, there will be serious job losses and migration to competitors. The stake is worht over USD 5 billion, so I don't smaller local banks can afford it.
What we are hearing locally from Barclays in damage control. Whatever is happening is beyond their control and at this moment they can't give a definite position. But they don't want mass panic so they are saying nothing is going to change.
Now to the issue of local shareholders: Their minority stake in Barclays operations such as the ones in Kenya, Uganda and other countries may be bought out by force by the new buyer or may be transferred to the whatever form of entity the new buyer establishes. If you have shares in Barclays, you may start thinking about what happens to them in a year or 2 years time when all this goes down.
Think of this scenario as Kencell > Celtel > Zain > Airtel. Something always changes.

eeh this Barclays situation is very poorly managed , they want to sell their controlling stake , meaning the new big boy can change the name (if i'm not wrong) , and as someone noted , guys are transfering accounts , please remember these are kenyans who just woke up to the imperial bank scandal ,so guys are jittery , and with this it means by the time they get buyers to the tables they will have less than what they should ideally be having in terms of numbers. But i hope a local bank will take over , equity ,CBA , family bank,coop ,KCB etc On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 11:45 AM, Geoffrey Karani via skunkworks < skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:

I think Mutinda is right and Barclays is selling their operations in Africa. They are selling their entire holding, which is 62% of Barclays Africa, meaning they will have no stake with whatever entity remains in Africa to carry on the current operations.
Now 2 things will happen. One, they may strike a deal with whoever buys the stake and continue to use the Barclays brand. Two, a bigger bank like Stanchart may buy the stake and covert the Barclays brands in Africa to Stanchart. Either way, there will be serious job losses and migration to competitors. The stake is worht over USD 5 billion, so I don't smaller local banks can afford it.
What we are hearing locally from Barclays in damage control. Whatever is happening is beyond their control and at this moment they can't give a definite position. But they don't want mass panic so they are saying nothing is going to change.
Now to the issue of local shareholders: Their minority stake in Barclays operations such as the ones in Kenya, Uganda and other countries may be bought out by force by the new buyer or may be transferred to the whatever form of entity the new buyer establishes. If you have shares in Barclays, you may start thinking about what happens to them in a year or 2 years time when all this goes down.
Think of this scenario as Kencell > Celtel > Zain > Airtel. Something always changes.

Further, It appears (according to this <http://www.bbc.com/news/business-35695601>) that Barclays is pulling out of other emerging markets like Brazil and Asia. My view is that it is hard for them to survive in a climate where businesses grow naturally. Their business model hadn't changed enough since colonial times. Back before independence when companies had astonishing profits because they paid locals next to nothing and had land assets they either never paid for or purchased for very little. When you have customers like those of course you'll thrive. And despite Equity and others efforts to bank the unbanked, smaller depositors have never quite warmed up to Big Bank so mobile banking is what is now expanding at a dizzying rate. Mutinda.
