Last Friday, we held a Fintech Tax Policy and Compliance Breakfast Meeting at Protea Hotel Kampala, bringing together fintech leaders, policymakers, tax authorities and industry experts for dialogue on building an enabling tax environment for fintech growth and domestic revenue mobilisation.

The engagement was organised in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development Uganda, Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and KPMG East Africa, and it aimed to:
⭐️ Present the fintech sector’s proposed tax amendment recommendations and facilitate dialogue with government on key tax challenges affecting sector growth.
⭐️ Strengthen fintech companies’ understanding of current tax obligations, including recent tax amendments, filing and reporting requirements, record-keeping and available tax incentives.
⭐️ Strengthen collaboration between government and industry to support evidence-based tax reforms that promote innovation, investment, sector growth and domestic revenue mobilisation.

The discussions explored key issues including VAT on financial services and imported technology, withholding tax on fintech payments, recharged transaction fees, bad debt deductions and stamp duty on digital loan agreements, alongside practical guidance from Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) on tax compliance and available incentives.

The meeting provided an important platform for fintechs to seek clarification, share industry experiences and contribute to conversations on tax reforms that respond to the realities of a rapidly evolving sector.

We appreciate MoFPED, URA, KPMG East Africa and all participants for contributing to this important dialogue.

💬 #𝑭𝒊𝒏𝑸𝒖𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒔: Inclusion drives sustainable financial innovation.

Financial innovation creates greater impact when it reaches the people and communities who need it most. Expanding access to appropriate, affordable, and accessible financial services can open doors to opportunity and strengthen participation in the digital economy.

For fintech innovators, this means designing products that consider the diverse needs of users, including underserved communities, young people, women, small businesses, and those with limited digital or financial literacy.

For consumers, inclusion means having access to financial services that are accessible, understandable, and suited to their needs, while using them responsibly and confidently.

When innovation is built with inclusion at its core, more people can participate, businesses can grow, and the digital financial ecosystem can become more sustainable.

#𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐌𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐮𝐬

As financial services become increasingly digital, knowing who you are doing business with is fundamental to building trust, managing risk, and meeting regulatory requirements.

This week, we spotlight Laboremus Uganda, a fintech company enabling regulated financial institutions to verify customer identities through technology that makes KYC and KYB processes faster, simpler, and more reliable.

At the centre of its offering is STREAMLINE, an identity verification platform available through both a web portal and API. It enables supervised financial institutions to verify individuals and businesses against relevant registries and screening databases, providing a consolidated and auditable view of customer information.

For individual KYC, institutions can verify national IDs, passports, driver’s licences, TINs, and phone numbers, while conducting AML/CFT, PEP, and sanctions screening. For businesses, STREAMLINE supports due diligence by verifying business details, shareholders, KCCA trade licences, and TINs through relevant registries.

The platform connects with institutions including NIRA, URSB, KCCA, MTN, and Airtel, while its screening capabilities draw on more than 500 continuously updated sanctions, AML/CFT, and PEP lists.

Today, STREAMLINE is trusted by 40+ supervised institutions across East Africa, including banks, microfinance institutions, fintechs, and insurance providers.

Laboremus also offers STREAMLINE Flex, providing organisations with an accessible way to conduct KYC checks without a contract, integration, or monthly fee.

By simplifying identity verification and business due diligence, Laboremus is helping financial institutions strengthen compliance while creating smoother and more secure onboarding experiences for their customers.

👏 As a member of the FITSPA community, Laboremus continues to contribute to a more trusted, secure, and digitally enabled financial ecosystem.

A successful youth fellowship is only possible when industry opens its doors to young talent.

As we reflect on the recently concluded 2026, we extend our sincere appreciation to all our host organisations for welcoming our Fellows, providing hands-on learning opportunities, offering mentorship, and giving young people the chance to contribute to real projects within professional environments.

From software development and customer onboarding to fintech, digital marketing and other technology roles, our Fellows gained more than workplace experience. They built confidence, strengthened their skills, learned from experienced professionals and gained a clearer understanding of what it takes to build a career in the technology and fintech sector.

To Capital One Group (COG), Zimba Technologies, Wakandi Group, True African (U) LTD, Trade Lance Limited, and Interswitch East Africa, thank you for investing in Uganda’s next generation of tech and fintech talent.

These outcomes demonstrate the power of meaningful industry-academia collaboration and the impact of giving young people a chance to prove themselves.

At FITSPA, we remain committed to working with industry partners to build a stronger pipeline of skilled, confident and work-ready young professionals who will shape Uganda’s digital economy.

“The fellowship showed me how technology can empower communities and improve financial inclusion.”

For Nangi Peter, a Customer Onboarding Fellow at Wakandi Group, the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship was a transformative experience that connected his academic knowledge with the realities of working in Uganda’s fintech sector.

During the fellowship, Peter gained practical experience in data migration, data validation and maintaining data integrity, helping to transition manual SACCO records into secure digital systems. He also gained valuable exposure to regulatory compliance, customer onboarding and digital financial inclusion.

But one of the most meaningful parts of his journey was working directly with SACCOs in the field. Seeing clients move from paper-based record keeping to digital platforms, and witnessing how this improved their daily operations, gave him a deeper understanding of the real impact of technology.

Beyond the technical skills, Peter developed stronger communication, teamwork, accountability, adaptability and customer engagement skills, including learning how to support users with different levels of digital literacy.

His experience reflects what the FITSPA Youth NextGen Fellowship was designed to achieve: bridging the gap between education and employment by giving young people practical industry experience, mentorship and exposure to real-world challenges.

We appreciate Wakandi Group for providing Peter with an opportunity to learn, contribute and experience first-hand how technology can drive financial inclusion.

At FITSPA, we remain committed to creating pathways for young people to develop practical skills, gain industry experience and build meaningful careers in Uganda’s growing technology and fintech ecosystem.

Peter’s story reminds us that when young people are given the opportunity to learn by doing, they do not just build careers, they contribute to building solutions that can transform communities.

The training concluded with an interactive peer-to-peer learning session on best practices across the digital credit lifecycle, from customer acquisition and loan origination to underwriting, disbursement, servicing, collections and complaints handling.

Participants formed four groups, with each group examining a hypothetical case covering marketing and loan origination, product design and underwriting. The cases explored practical digital credit scenarios, including disclosure and consumer protection requirements, and potential violations of key legal and regulatory obligations.

Each group discussed its case, identified the compliance and consumer protection issues involved, and prepared a presentation to share its findings with the wider room. MRD, PDPO and FITSPA guided the discussions, helping participants connect regulatory requirements with practical day-to-day operations.

For institutions already offering digital lending, the session provided an opportunity to reflect on and strengthen existing practices. For those looking to enter digital lending, it offered practical insights into the operational, compliance and responsible lending considerations needed when developing digital credit products and services.

We appreciate MRD–MoFPED and PDPO for providing guidance and embracing this practical learning platform that promotes collaboration, knowledge sharing and a more responsible and compliant digital credit ecosystem in Uganda.

The training featured a session on Data Protection and Security in Digital Lending, with presentations from Jordan Magala and Kalema Christopher of the Personal Data Protection Office (PDPO), focusing on data protection, compliance and security in digital lending operations.

Jordan Magala took participants through personal data protection requirements and expounded on the Data Protection and Privacy Act and its application to digital lending. The session highlighted the rights of individuals whose data is collected and the obligations of data collectors, processors and controllers.

Digital lenders were encouraged to register with the PDPO, establish privacy governance structures, develop data protection policies, train staff, submit compliance reports, conduct internal privacy audits and maintain effective complaints-handling mechanisms.

The session further highlighted individual rights, including the right to access personal data; request rectification, blocking, erasure or destruction of data; prevent the use of personal data for direct marketing; rights relating to automated decision-making; the right to be informed; and the right to lodge complaints over breaches and non-compliance.

Jordan also emphasised that violations can expose organisations to significant risks, including reputational damage and fines of up to 2% of a corporation’s annual gross turnover.

Kalema Christopher focused on data security, emphasising the need for robust technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal data from cyberattacks and other threats.

He highlighted how application permissions can give digital lending apps access to significant amounts of information on an individual’s device, raising important questions around how much data is collected, why it is collected and how it is subsequently used.

He also highlighted the growing use of predictive profiling and machine learning, where applications can analyse available data to derive insights about customers. This reinforced the need for lenders to apply appropriate safeguards and ensure that personal data is processed responsibly and transparently.

He further noted that data breaches can result from cyberattacks, human error, malicious insider activity and abuse of privileges, making strong internal controls, staff awareness and incident reporting critical components of data protection.

The presentations reinforced a critical message for digital lenders: protecting customer data requires more than compliance on paper. It requires strong governance, responsible data practices, robust security controls and continuous investment in people and systems.
