A complete list of banks in Uganda where you can withdraw and send to Mobile money

Isn’t it great to be able to withdraw money from bank account to your mobile money number and vice versa? Yes it is. At the end of the month when salary has hit the account and Toto in the village wants to upgrade her solar panel, it would be convenient to send money from your bank account straight to phone number .

Unfortunately, currently no bank other than Barclays supports sending money directly from a bank account to any mobile phone number. You have to withdraw money from you bank account to your mobile wallet and then to her mobile phone. When you want to get mini loans, browse around this site.

A number of banks in Uganda have partnered with Mobile money networks to allow this integration. MTN Uganda Mobile money and Airtel Money subscribers can withdraw money from partner banks to their mobile wallets as well as send money from their mobile wallets to their bank accounts. Really cool.
