In a landmark recognition, MicroPay Uganda Limited has been certified as the Best Financial Technology (Fintech) Company in Uganda for the 2024/2025 period.
The Certificate of Accreditation, presented by Public Opinions in association with the Office of the Minister of State for Investment and Privatization (Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development), also honors MicroPay as a Uganda Responsible Investment and Uganda Development Champion.
The company is also inducted into the Uganda Development Champions Journal 2025 for its contributions to Uganda Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
“Sustainable innovation must be anchored in strong governance,” states Managing Director and CEO Grace Stuart Ndyareeba.
Licensed by the Bank of Uganda as a Payment Service Provider (PSP) and Payment Service Operator (PSO), MicroPay powers agency banking for one of Uganda’s biggest banks, supporting a nationwide agent network for deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and payments in urban and rural areas. It facilitates secure digital disbursements for Uganda’s Social Assistance Grants for Empowerment (SAGE) program, enabling high-volume payments to vulnerable beneficiaries with audit integrity and geographic reach.
“For us, financial inclusion is not a slogan—it is physical access, digital access, and trusted access,” Ndyareeba adds.
MicroPay revolutionises financial access through mobile payments, digital wallets, and inclusive services for small businesses, farmers, and underserved communities—aligning with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Industry observers note that such recognitions boost investor confidence in Uganda’s fintech ecosystem, which has seen mobile money transactions surpass UGX 100 trillion annually.
MicroPay’s focus on security, affordability, and sustainability sets a benchmark, fostering an equitable digital economy.
Through regulated strength, national partnerships, and resilient infrastructure, MicroPay engineers financial stability and inclusive growth for Uganda’s prosperous future.
