Decided to try this product from Safaricom a few days ago with some little money my mzae sent my way for being a good boy. Deposited 17k into it and the daily income from it was:
Kshs 3.30 a day
What a joke. In a year, that’s a little over Kshs 1,000 for parking 1-2 months rent in an MMF. I’d rather waste the money on aviator.
Hii ni ujinga na upus. Cant just let my cash settle in there doing nothing and earning peanuts. Afadhali ikae tu bank where I can access it anytime I feel like without this bs.
Here’s a better idea.. find your own 17k and try it yourself.
Nah bro, banks offer 0%-0.5% monthly interest on savings.. which is less than nothing. I found this out the day I went to withdraw the 300k needed for my first car. Meanwhile, a 300k loan will transform into 450k when you pay it back.
You discredit Ziidi because of your small monies and give credit to aviator? You need a psychiatrist. MMF needs serious money, the one you can park for even a year and not feel a pinch, sasa unaweka rent ya bedsitter expecting a to buy a plot kamulu end year?
Look at the scam team behind it, a family run affair that will pack up that briefcase of a company when they have stolen cash and it all goes wrong. Ask yourself, who is SIB (standard investment bank)? Run by Grandfather (founder chairman), Son - CEO, Grandson - top management something. I am no tribalist, but look at their names, compare to say that of Safcom CEO… As usual premium tears will be shed in the not so long distant future.
