“I never thought I would say this, but Technology is a bitch! It has dictated our customer service this week. But, the people you have believed in are there and NCBA Bank Kenya will deliver once this technology problem is resolved. Wish I did not have to say that,” he responded to Ms. Wayua Muli, Editor, Saturday Nation.
Ms. Wayua had complained that she has experienced “a lot of terrible customer care and experience in my life”.
Dear @MizMuli – I never thought I would say this, but Technology is a bitch! It has dictated our customer service this week. But the people you have believed in are there and @NCBABankKenya will deliver once this technology problem is resolved. Wish I did not have to say that.

Earlier, the bank in a statement had said “The system interaction has led to intermittent service in some of our channels. This has been inconveniencing and in some cases painful to you.”
Trust me, all that was done. But as you know, technology has gotten way more complicated since them days of Equinox. Not an excuse, it has been disappointing.

I will be shameless and ask for another chance. The damn reboot button has failed us properly this week. I thank you in advance.

The system integration is a result of NIC Group PLC and Commercial Bank of Africa Limited (CBA) merging into NCBA Bank Kenya PLC in 2019.
This made them become the second largest bank in Kenya by customer deposits, the third-largest by total assets, and a market leader in Corporate Banking, Asset Finance, and Digital Banking.
