        Money Transfers in Kampala: what to know

        Money transfer services let people in Kampala, Uganda send money abroad or receive it in UGX (Ugandan shilling). The real cost is the fee plus the gap between the provider's exchange rate and the mid-market rate, so compare both.

        Currency in Uganda
        UGX · 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.
