Joyce Nabossa Ssebugwawo, State Minister for ICT and National Guidance, said globally fintech is playing an outsized role in disaggregating the financial services value chain in fundamental ways, making it more customer-centric, nimble and efficient. She likened Digital Adverts Ltd App to a Swiss Army knife.
“It’s a magic tool that subscribers use to get many things done. With technology, the applications are being used by providers to attack the maddening inefficiencies in financial services delivery, finding vulnerabilities around risk, cost, and customer experience that have made transactions seamless. What it means is I can now piece together the best set of services in a new and convenient way.”
John Babirukamu, Digital Marketing Consultant, said Ugandans using the internet grew to 13.9 million in January 2022, a rise of 31 per cent since 2020, with a population growth of 3.02 per cent. At this rate, he said, “half the Ugandan population will be online by 2035.” Babirukamu added that with a combined drop in data and smartphone prices, access will switch from getting people online to enabling services for the online. “I can guarantee that taxes, application for everything, banking and payments will become virtual, reflecting on the revolution.”
