Panel: ESG as a Key Driver of Sustainable Growth in Digital Financial Services 🌍💡 Sponsored by @aBiDevtFinance One of the standout sessions on Day 2 of the 7th @FITSPA Annual Fintech Conference 2025 was the panel discussion themed “ESG as a Key Driver of Sustainable Growth in Digital Financial Services,” proudly sponsored by aBi Finance. Moderated by @NoahOwomugisha, Head of Impact and Sustainability at @aBiDevtFinance, the session brought together thought leaders from across the financial and fintech ecosystem: @RoselynNajjuma (@StanChartUGA), @CharlesKabanda Ssentamu (Centenary Bank), @VincentT (FutureLink Technologies & @FITSPA Chairperson), and Delia Dean (Digital Economy Inclusion Expert). The panel explored how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles can drive innovation, inclusion, and long-term resilience in Uganda’s fintech ecosystem. @VincentT emphasized that sustainability requires deliberate effort: “When you are growing, you’re tempted to think things will stay that way. It’s important that fintechs maintain good relationships with stakeholders. Sometimes, we create unnecessary competition. In the context of technology, we must scale the impact of our interventions on the environment. This not only earns goodwill but makes us champions of the ESG framework.” @DeliaDean highlighted that climate change, business risk, and client satisfaction are deeply interconnected: “Through digital financial services, we can drive inclusion and achieve sustainable growth. ESG should not just be a compliance checklist — it’s a catalyst for innovation that ensures we take care of both the environment and our communities.” @CharlesKabanda Ssentamu shared Centenary Bank’s tangible strides toward sustainability: “At @CentenaryBank, we measure impact through the resilience of the communities we serve. We are taking banking closer to the people through mobile solutions — making access paperless, efficient, and inclusive. Ten of our branches are already solar-powered, and within the next five years, we aim to have all 82 branches and over 210 ATMs powered by solar.” @RoselynNajjuma underscored the global scale of @StanChartUGA Bank’s sustainability agenda: “As @StanChartUGA, we are dedicating USD 300 billion towards sustainability by 2030. We’re helping businesses access sustainable finance and guiding them in analyzing their emissions. Investors are increasingly looking for strong ESG alignment — and achieving this requires behavioral change, innovation, and supportive regulation. But most importantly, it’s achievable.” The discussion drew parallels with Rwanda’s widespread solar adoption, demonstrating how intentional investment in renewable energy can transform economies. The panel concluded with a clear call to action — fintechs must innovate not just for profit, but also for purpose — aligning growth with environmental protection, social inclusion, and ethical governance. #FAFC2025 #FITSPA #FintechConference #ESG #Sustainability #Innovation #DigitalFinance #aBiFinance #GreenEconomy #FinancialInclusion #FintechForSustainableGrowth #Uganda

Investor Deal Book Launch – BDO East Africa 💼📘 At Day 2 of the 7th FITSPA Annual Fintech Conference 2025, @MichaealGashumba, Director of Advisory at @BDOEastAfrica, officially unveiled the Second Edition of the @FitspaUG Investor Deal Book — a platform designed to connect investor-ready fintech companies in Uganda with both local and international investors. In his remarks, Gashumba emphasized that the Deal Book provides @FitspaUG members seeking funding with a unique opportunity to connect directly with top investors who are actively scouting for promising fintech ventures. “Our fintech sector is a little bit strangled — not because of a lack of ideas, but because of the challenge of finding people who can see the future in those ideas,” he shared. “When @FitspaUG approached BDO to take on the Investor Deal Book, we were more than willing to be part of this year’s edition. Africa is still bursting with potential in the financing space, and small ideas can turn into great enterprises.” The Deal Book features a diverse range of companies from across the fintech ecosystem — spanning finance, corporate banking, MSME lending, and digital innovation — each sharing their story and vision for scaling impactful solutions. Gashumba highlighted that this platform not only bridges the gap between startups and investors but also builds visibility and credibility for homegrown innovators driving financial inclusion and digital transformation. “We have profiled incredible fintechs that are solving real problems and redefining how finance works for ordinary people. Anyone who knows interested investors should reach out to FITSPA — we’re excited to showcase the brilliance within Uganda’s fintech ecosystem,” he concluded. The @FitspaUG Investor Deal Book continues to serve as a vital bridge between innovation and investment, amplifying the voices and ventures that are shaping the future of finance in Uganda and across Africa. #FAFC2025 #FITSPA #FintechConference #Investment #Innovation #FintechEcosystem #InvestorDealBook #Funding #Startups #Finance #Uganda #BDOEastAfrica #FintechForSustainableGrowth

Launch of @CmaUganda Regulatory Sandbox 🚀📊 Day 2 of the 7th FITSPA Annual Fintech Conference 2025 begins on a high note with powerful insights from Mrs. Josephine Okui Ossiya, Chief Executive Officer of the Capital Markets Authority (@CmaUganda). In her opening remarks, she applauds the fintech community’s innovation and forward-thinking spirit, saying, “Every time I attend a @FitspaUG event, it reminds me that this is where the future is. So as we develop the apps and write the codes, we are connecting generations.” With those inspiring words, Mrs. Ossiya officially launched the @CmaUganda Regulatory Sandbox, a pioneering initiative designed to provide innovators with a controlled environment to test new financial technologies and capital-raising models. The sandbox represents a major leap toward fostering innovation while ensuring market integrity and investor protection. Aligned with Uganda’s National Development Plan (NDP IV) and the Government’s Ten-Fold Program, the sandbox aims to bridge innovation and regulation—supporting new products, services, and business models that can drive economic transformation and inclusion. In addition to the launch, @CmaUganda announced a series of significant regulatory advancements achieved during the second quarter of 2025, signaling strong momentum in Uganda’s capital markets sector: ✅ Gazetting of the Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) Licensing Regulations 2025 — a milestone that strengthens oversight and transparency for a sector now valued at over UGX 4.6 trillion. ✅ Licensing of five commercial banks — DFCU, Housing Finance, Stanbic, ABSA, and Centenary Bank — as securities dealers, joining Standard Chartered in expanding Uganda’s investment landscape. ✅ Approval of ICRA Credit Rating Agency, the first credit rating agency licensed under CMA’s framework, set to enhance credibility, transparency, and investor confidence in Uganda’s corporate debt markets. Mrs. Ossiya also reaffirmed the Authority’s continued vigilance in monitoring market developments, including structural adjustments by @mtnug and ongoing activity around the UEGCL counter, assuring investors that their investments remain secure and protected under CMA’s supervision. Reiterating CMA’s broader mission, she emphasized the importance of inclusive participation in Uganda’s capital markets: “We are here to create opportunities — not just for seasoned investors, but for ordinary citizens, entrepreneurs, and business owners who need access to capital. Our goal is to make capital markets work for all Ugandans.” She highlighted CMA’s core roles in regulation, supervision, enforcement, licensing, investor education, and policy research, underscoring that the Authority’s efforts are driven by its values of Innovation, Teamwork, Accountability, and Professionalism. As she concluded, Mrs. Ossiya extended an open invitation to innovators and stakeholders across Uganda’s fintech and financial ecosystem to take advantage of the new sandbox framework: “Innovation needs space to thrive, and CMA is walking this journey with you. Let’s embrace this sandbox and grow together.” The launch marks a defining moment in Uganda’s journey toward a more innovative, inclusive, and resilient financial ecosystem — one that balances bold creativity with sound regulation to empower the next generation of African fintech solutions. #FAFC2025 #FITSPA #FintechConference #CMA #Innovation #Regulation #CapitalMarkets #FinancialInclusion #Investment #FintechForSustainableGrowth #Uganda
