A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 79K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 369 times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.467% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 39% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8 interactions, about 4.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #africanbank, #audacitytobelieve, #africanbanksaving.

Compared with accounts its own size

African Bank's engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 26% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.003%, African Bank sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.016%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 66,128 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 57,111 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it

  • 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 39% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
  • Its average post runs 402 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    Women make up 55% of banking staff, but top leadership remains male-dominated. Workplaces still fail to accommodate the unique needs of women, whose role in society covers both caregiver and corporate employee. In a conversation with @tumisangndlovu on Newzroom Afrika (@Newzroom405), African Bank Personal Banking CEO @Ralinalahapps recommends: āœ“ Addressing women’s obligations as caregivers through flexible workplace policies āœ“ Compelling organisations to adopt a ā€˜people centric’ approach and be flexible enough to accommodate female staff āœ“ Building multiple income streams through entrepreneurship #AudaciousWomen #WomensMonth #AfricanBank #AudacityToBelieve

Reading these numbers

A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 79K followers, an engagement rate of 0.003%. Measured over 33 original posts, its engagement rate beats 7% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 369 times each, and 0.542% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.467% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.4 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 67% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 33 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 39% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 8 interactions, about 4.0x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #africanbank, #audacitytobelieve, #africanbanksaving.

What is African Bank's engagement rate on X?
African Bank (@AfricanBank) has an engagement rate of 0.003%, based on the median interactions across 33 original posts from the last 30 days against 78,963 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.003%, African Bank sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,128 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @AfricanBank have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 7% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @AfricanBank post?
Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.37 posts per day across the measured window.
