Centenary Bank has been recognized with two prestigious accolades at the Brand Africa Awards: Most Admired Ugandan Bank and Ugandan Bank Doing Good in the Community. These awards reinforce the Bank’s commitment to customer-centric banking and socio-economic development in Uganda.

The Brand Africa Awards, launched in 2011, are the gold standard for recognizing admired brands across Africa. The awards are based on a comprehensive survey spanning over 30 African countries, covering more than 85% of the continent’s population and GDP. The research is independently conducted by globally respected firms GeoPoll and Kantar.

Fabian Kasi, Managing Director of Centenary Bank, expressed gratitude on behalf of the Bank, saying, “We are humbled and deeply honoured to be named the Most Admired Ugandan Bank and recognized as the Ugandan Bank Doing Good in the Community. These awards belong not just to us, but to every customer, partner, and community we serve.”

Centenary Bank has positioned itself as a people-centred financial institution, dedicated to transforming lives through inclusive financial services. With 81 branches, 209 ATMs, and over 8,000 agents countrywide, the Bank has expanded its reach to ensure financial services are accessible even in remote communities.

The award for Most Admired Ugandan Bank is a testament to the Bank’s leadership in delivering innovative, customer-focused banking solutions. The Bank has embraced digital banking platforms, expanded agent and SME banking, and continues to redefine how Ugandans access and interact with financial services.

Beyond financial excellence, Centenary Bank’s recognition as the Ugandan Bank Doing Good in the Community highlights its role as a champion for social and economic transformation. The Bank dedicates 2% of its net profit towards impactful Corporate Social Investment projects that improve education, healthcare, livelihoods, and the environment.

Some notable initiatives include financial literacy trainings, donating educational materials, supporting church needs, and participating in environmental sustainability initiatives. In the past two years, the Bank has planted over 70,000 trees in different parts of Uganda, aiming to build a greener and more sustainable Uganda
