FINCA Uganda Launches Mobile Banking

FINCA Uganda launched Digital Field Automation (DFA) to bring banking services directly to clients, especially in rural areas. Field staff use tablets with biometric verification to open accounts and process loans on the spot. Customers need only a national ID and Shs10,000 to open accounts, with deposits via agents, USSD, or the FINCA App. DFA reduces travel, cuts queues, and lowers operational costs while improving financial inclusion nationwide.
