Ensibuuko -

Ensibuuko was founded in 2014 out of the desire to address a real problem that affects millions of people across Africa: the problem of poor banking infrastructure. Most banks are concentrated in urban centres and struggle to reach remote, rural communities.

Partially regulated microfinance organisations and savings groups (owned and operated by the communities themselves) are now filling the gap - providing affordable and relevant financial services to the most underserved. But they too struggle with inefficiencies resulting from reliance on traditional, paper-based systems. Ensibuuko’s founder was raised in a remote farming village in Uganda - by a single mother. His family's frustration navigating a poor banking system to access a loan at the most critical time is why we do what we do.
