Uganda’s best transaction bank 2026: Equity Bank Uganda

Equity Bank Uganda built out its transaction banking proposition in 2025 through investment in digital payments, collections, liquidity management and direct system integration for corporate, public-sector, SME and institutional clients. 

A key area of development was the bank’s cash management infrastructure. It enhanced host-to-host connectivity, APIs, virtual accounts, real-time collections and automated payment tools, giving clients more direct links between their ERP systems and the bank’s platforms. This enabled more payments and collections to flow directly between clients’ systems and the bank, reducing manual processing and making reconciliation faster.

These enhancements were supported by wider investment in secure digital channels, straight-through processing, data analytics, cybersecurity and platform resilience.
