Bayport Financial Services Uganda

Bayport Financial Services Uganda is still relatively young, having opened its doors in 2005, but it has experienced encouraging growth and widespread acceptance, quickly becoming a major unsecured credit provider in the country. Today, there are Bayport branches in eight Ugandan cities.

Bayport Financial Services Uganda seeks to understand its clients by establishing partnerships with local trade unions and employers. Uganda was a tough nut to crack, because of its uniquely decentralised civil service payroll system and competitive credit market. Bayport overcame all the obstacles and started prospering, thanks in no small measure to the valuable relationships with local communities.
