The headquarters of FINCA Uganda Limited are located at Plot 11B Acacia Avenue in Kampala Central Division, one of the five administrative divisions of the city of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city, about 5 kilometres (3 mi) north of the city centre.[2] The coordinates of the company headquarters are 00°20'07.0"N, 32°35'16.0"E (Latitude:0.335278; Longitude:32.587778).[3]
Overview
FINCA Uganda was licensed as an MDI in 2004, although the institution has been in the country since 1992.[4]
FINCA provides financial services to Uganda's lowest-income entrepreneurs with the aim of alleviating poverty through lasting solutions that help people to create jobs, build assets, and improve 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.[5]
As of December 2015, the institution's asset base was UGX:128.51 billion, with shareholders' equity of UGX:42.67 billion.[6]
FINCA Uganda was one of the first financial institutions in Uganda to introduce biometric technology in 2011.[7]
Ownership
It is a subsidiary and member organization of FINCA International, headquartered in the United States.[8]
