  • The Transformation of Equity Bank
    OB--- April 2009 The Transformation of Equity Bank “There was a time when our colleagues in the industry ignored us during marketing drives. Equity was not even on the programme of events. If we were lucky, we were asked to greet the people at the end of the meeting. We were snubbed because they considered us a village bank. The humiliation our marketing teams suffered brought us closer together. We kept our focus on our customers; how to serve them better and how to retain them… Today, we are one of the top three banks in Kenya. Many of our customers consider themselves members of the Bank. They make suggestions to us and they introduce their friends and relatives to the Bank.” - Equity Bank branch manager Equity Bank had indeed been transformed from a moribund building society with total losses of over KSh 33 million and a non-performing loan portfolio of 54% in 1993, into one of the leading banks in the country. In 2008, Equity Bank was ranked the No. 1 Bank in the Banking Survey by Think Business. It won the Euromoney award for the Best Bank in Kenya in 2007 and 2008. At the Africa Investor Award ceremony held at the New York Stock Exchange in September 2008, Equity Bank was named the best performing public listed company in Africa. The list of awards won by the Bank was long and impressive. Instead of celebrating the bank’s successes however, the main architect of the transformation, James Mwangi, was thinking of the challenges ahead. He wondered if the Bank could continue to meet the expectations of its customers in the homesteads all over the country and in the towns.
