Who We Are
Fostering prosperity for Ugandans.
Pearl Bank Uganda Limited is built on nearly a century of banking heritage and a renewed vision to foster prosperity for Ugandans. Our journey began in 1926 as the Post Office Savings Department, the first effort to cultivate a savings culture in Uganda by extending financial services to ordinary citizens, especially in rural communities. In 1998, we became PostBank Uganda Limited, a government-owned institution dedicated to expanding access to affordable savings and credit services. Over the years, we grew into one of Uganda’s most accessible financial institutions, guided by a strong commitment to inclusion and national development.
