Local guide

International Bank Accounts & e-Wallets in Kampala: what to know

Global payment accounts help people in Kampala, Uganda get paid by clients, marketplaces and platforms in other countries, then convert the money into UGX (Ugandan shilling). They are popular with freelancers, online sellers and remote workers in Kampala.

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.

Before you sign up in Kampala

Check which currencies you can receive, the conversion fee to UGX (Ugandan shilling), and the withdrawal fee to a local account in Uganda.
