Uganda doesn't have to reinvent the wheel to expand digital financial access.
At #FITSPA2026, FSD Uganda's @dakullu called for better use of existing infrastructure, stronger interoperability and governance that enables different players to connect.

Technology is changing both sides of the fraud equation. It can create new risks, but it can also strengthen how financial institutions detect and respond to fraud.
The question is whether those capabilities translate into safer financial services and better protection for consumers.

Why the survey?
Better MSME finance starts with better evidence on the businesses we are trying to serve their financing needs, behaviours and barriers. That is the opportunity behind the proposed National #FinScopeMSME Survey

Expanding access to digital financial services is not enough if consumers cannot use them safely.
As digital finance grows, consumer protection needs to keep pace from how products are designed to what happens when a customer loses money to fraud.

What will it take for Uganda's MSMEs to not only access finance, but survive and grow?
Our discussion with @mtic_uganda explored why finance needs to be accompanied by stronger financial capability, recordkeeping and cash-flow management and better data on MSME financing needs.
We look forward to deepening this work together.

One of the findings presented at the Cyber & Fraud Landscape Assessment Validation Workshop highlights the scale of the challenge:
95% of the losses reported by financial institutions originate from digital channels.
As digital financial services continue to expand, strengthening cyber resilience will be essential to protecting consumers and sustaining trust.

Today, the Bank of Uganda officially launched the E-Supervision (SupTech) Project, a landmark regulatory technology initiative to modernize financial sector supervision.
The project will use automation, data standardization, and advanced analytics to allow for quick, preventive, and informed oversight—improving compliance, trust, and stability in Uganda’s financial system.
Speaking at the launch, Governor Dr. Michael Atingi-Ego described SupTech as a transformational step toward smarter, faster, and more transparent regulation. He emphasized that technology is only a tool, and collaboration with stakeholders will be key to success.
The event brought together regulators, financial institutions, fintechs, and development partners, illustrating the value of partnerships in shaping Uganda’s digital financial future.
This marks the beginning of a smarter regulatory ecosystem—one that promotes transparency, builds market confidence, and positions Uganda’s financial system to thrive in the digital age.
