We have received some exciting news from our African partners, to share with all GCS colleagues. Sam Omukoko, CEO of GCS Kenya has just been advised they have received the approval from the Central Bank of Kenya, to run a Credit Reference Bureau for Banks in Kenya. As Sam advises this is a great milestone given that the vetting process has taken over a year and is a very rigorous exercise. A license from the Central Bank of Kenya gives Sam and Metropol East Africa Ltd, the necessary credibility to expand to other parts of Africa without suffering the credibility challenge. And they are naturally very pleased with this development.

In addition, we have just been received advice from Sam, that he has been nominated to give a talk to the World Consumer Credit Reporting Conference to be held in Berlin in September 2010. His company Metropol, provides Credit Bureau services to Non Bank credit providers and had applied for a license to be issued by the Central Bank of Kenya to provide CRB services to Banks in Kenya. (Refer above)

This Provides Metropol with a platform to expand the same services to the other countries in the region and continent, and the conference at which Sam will present will effectively put Metropol on the Global Credit Bureau Map and he, and his entire team are understandably excited about it. Details can be seen at http://www.wccrc2010.com and Sam is going to be a busy traveler as he presents at the GLOBAL CREDIT COLLECTIONS & RISK TRENDS conference in Vancouver Wednesday 15, 2010 where GCS delegates will be meeting.
