        Business Banking in Kampala: what to know

        Business banking in Kampala, Uganda covers company accounts, payment cards for staff, invoicing and paying suppliers abroad. Freelancers, startups and exporters in Kampala often use a digital business account alongside a local bank.

        Currency in Uganda
        UGX Β· Ugandan shilling
        Local accounts in Uganda
        Uganda is not part of the international IBAN scheme: banks use a domestic sort code (4 digits) plus a local account number (typically 9 digits), and international transfers are addressed with the receiving bank's SWIFT/BIC and those domestic details.
        Payments in Uganda
        The Bank of Uganda operates the URTGS real-time gross settlement system for large-value and interbank payments, but everyday digital payments are overwhelmingly mobile money: MTN MoMo and Airtel Money have agent networks covering most of the country, and the NPS Act framework has pushed interoperability between wallets and bank accounts.

        Before you sign up in Kampala

        Commercial banks, credit institutions and microfinance deposit-taking institutions are licensed by the Bank of Uganda under the Financial Institutions Act, and mobile money and other payment service providers are regulated under the National Payment Systems Act. Verify the licence category on the BoU's registers before holding shillings with a provider. Ask what company documents the provider needs for a business registered in Uganda.
