Overview

FINCA Uganda Limited is licensed as a Microfinance Deposit-taking Institution (MDI). Its MDI license was issued in 2004, although the institution has been in the country since 1992.[2] FINCA provides financial services to Uganda's lowest-income entrepreneurs with the aim of creating jobs, building assets and improving their standard of living. As an MDI, FINCA Uganda is a Tier III Financial Institution. It is therefore prohibited from dealing in foreign exchange and cannot issue checking accounts. As of December 2013, the institution's asset base was in excess of US$35.16 million, with over 268,100 deposit accounts and over 57,600 loan accounts. The shareholders' equity in the institution totaled about US$11.27 million at that time.)[3] FINCA Uganda remains at the forefront of information technology in service delivery, being one of the first financial institutions in Uganda to introduce biometric technology in 2011.[4]
