Bank of Africa -Uganda (BOAUG) has today launched the “Appsolutely Easy” campaign, introducing a seamless, fully remote account opening experience via the BOA Wallet App — putting financial services directly into the hands of Ugandans without the need to visit a branch.
The campaign specifically targets the youth, first-time banking customers, and existing account holders, tapping into Uganda’s rising smartphone adoption and mobile-first lifestyle. According to the GSMA Mobile Economy Sub-Saharan Africa 2024 report, smartphone usage in Uganda is projected to surpass 80% by 2025, driven by increased internet access and the growing affordability of devices.
“With the BOA Wallet, we are removing traditional barriers to financial inclusion,” said Arthur Isiko , Managing Director of Bank of Africa-Uganda. “Now, anyone can open a fully functional bank account in minutes, right from their mobile phone — no paperwork, no queues, no delays. This innovation is part of our broader strategy to make banking truly accessible to everyone, especially the younger, digitally driven generation,” he added.
