KAMPALA – KCB Bank Uganda has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing financial inclusion and economic empowerment through MoPesa, its digital micro-credit and savings proposition delivered in partnership with MTN MoMo.
This partnership is reinforced through the “Borrow. Pay. Back. Neela Neela.” campaign, which promotes responsible borrowing and timely repayment as key to building financial confidence and improving access to future credit.
Through MoPesa, customers can access convenient financial solutions directly through the MTN mobile money platform, bridging short-term financing gaps for informal traders, micro- enterprises and underserved communities. The proposition also encourages customers to develop stronger financial habits through responsible borrowing, timely repayment and saving.
Customers can access MoPesa by dialing *165*45#, providing a simple and convenient way to manage short-term financial needs while building towards greater financial resilience.
Speaking at the campaign launch at Kalerwe Market in Kampala on Wednesday August 19th, 2026, Sheila Awori, Marketing Manager Business and Corporate banking at KCB Bank Uganda, said, “Through MoPesa, we are encouraging Ugandans to borrow responsibly, repay on time and build towards a stronger financial future. Customers can simply dial 16545# to access MoPesa.
We are committed to making financial solutions more accessible and relevant to the everyday needs of Ugandans For People, For Better.”
The initiative forms part of KCB Bank Uganda’s broader commitment to expanding access to formal financial services and supporting grassroots economic activity. By leveraging the reach of the MTN MoMo ecosystem, MoPesa brings financial solutions closer to customers, enabling them to respond to immediate cash-flow needs while building healthier financial habits.
