A warm welcome and thank you for choosing BANK OF AFRICA- UGANDA Ltd; your success is our inspiration and we commit to move you forward, even much further…..

Our website introduces you to the activities of BANK OF AFRICA- UGANDA Ltd, including snapshots of the Bank’s products and services, staffing and careers, social responsibility activities as well as details of who we are.

BANK OF AFRICA - UGANDA Ltd is a member of the BANK OF AFRICA Group. The Group operates through a network of 11 commercial banks in Africa and has been in existence since 1982. In addition to commercial banking, the BANK OF AFRICA Group is equally active in the fields of insurance, mortgage, leasing and stock brokerage.

Over the years, the BANK OF AFRICA Group has developed expertise in being an "all public" Bank providing banking services to large international corporate companies, middle size local businesses as well as retail and small business. Bank of Africa is one of the largest Banking Groups in West Africa and continues to grow from strength to strength in Africa with the ambition of becoming a truly Pan African Bank.

BANK OF AFRICA-UGANDA Ltd is a registered limited liability company and a Bank of Uganda regulated financial institution. The Bank has positioned itself as an SME Bank and has over the years engaged in a number of activities targeting SME development, beyond SME finance. These include organising business clinics for clients (existing and potential) in subject areas that cover both financial and non financial aspects of enterprise improvement and development. The Bank has also developed a number of SME products including one that specifically targets women entrepreneurs. The Bank is active in the Corporate and Retail sectors and expects higher market penetration with the current branch expansion programme.

The Bank increased its network from five branches in October 2006 to eleven fully fledged branches by the close of 2008. Five of these are upcountry, plus one cash centre and all are networked, enabling you to do your banking anywhere in the network. We have also expanded our ATM network and are currently working on establishing offsite ATMs to strengthen our service footprint. In an expansion drive and to make our services available to most Ugandans across the country, seven new branches will be opened in 2009 and linked to the network. Other forms of technology driven service points are on our menu, as is the link with our sister banks in East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Burundi) where we have a presence.

The Bank has had an impact on the social scene through a number of corporate social responsibility activities including support to displaced people in Northern Uganda, partnering with the Lions Club to support the disabled, support to flood victims in Eastern Uganda, contributions to Uganda Women business groups, blood donation, as well as contributions to children’s homes and hospitals. The Bank is gladly continuing in this commitment. 

Merci,
