Flutterwave, a leading payments technology company, has received a Payment Systems Operator (PSO) license from the Bank of Uganda. This marks a key milestone in Flutterwave’s expansion across Africa, adding Uganda to its growing list of countries where it operates.

Uganda’s digital payment landscape is transforming, driven by a youthful and vibrant population — over 78% of its citizens are under the age of 35. This demographic presents an unprecedented opportunity to advance economic growth through enhanced financial inclusion and digital innovation.

Founded in 2016, Flutterwave has emerged as a cornerstone of Africa’s digital economy, with a mission to simplify payments for endless possibilities. Leveraging its advanced technology and deep understanding of African markets, Flutterwave offers a comprehensive suite of payment solutions tailored to the country’s unique needs. From mobile money integration — crucial for Uganda’s predominantly mobile-first population — to seamless cross-border payment capabilities, Flutterwave is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between Uganda and the global economy.

With the PSO license, Flutterwave will offer payout services for disbursing funds like salaries and commissions, invoicing solutions for easy tracking and payment collection, and mobile money integration to provide convenient and accessible payment options for Ugandans. The license will also streamline fund transfers and payment collections across diverse customer segments and locations in Uganda, enabling businesses to benefit from efficient, reliable, and tailor-made payment solutions through either Flutterwave for Business or SendApp.

Commenting on the license approval, Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, Founder & CEO of Flutterwave, said, “Securing this license in Uganda is a significant step towards realising our vision of a financially connected Africa. At Flutterwave, we believe that the future of Africa lies in its ability to seamlessly connect its people, businesses, and economies through technology. We are excited to contribute to this journey, empowering Ugandan businesses and individuals to harness the full potential of digital payments and drive inclusive growth.”
