At the AGM, a significant and long-anticipated announcement was made by the Minister of Finance, Hon. Matia Kasaija: Post Bank Uganda will rebrand to Pearl Bank Uganda Limited, subject to approval by the Bank of Uganda.
This change comes after five years of solid transformation and growth, during which the Bank has expanded access to financial services, increased support to MSMEs and agriculture, and demonstrated strong performance in driving inclusive banking.
According to the Minister, the new name was carefully chosen to reflect a renewed sense of pride in being Ugandan. “It is a name that symbolizes purity, wisdom, wealth, status, and prosperity,” he said, referencing Winston Churchill’s iconic portrayal of Uganda as “The Pearl of Africa.”
The Pearl is here—and so is a bold new future for Ugandan banking.
