The Financial Technologies Service Providers Association (FITSPA) is a non-profit, member-based organization that serves as a unifying voice for both local and international Fintechs and Fintech stakeholders in Uganda.
Over the years, FITSPA has brought together and connected diverse stakeholders to promote the growth of Uganda’s Fintech industry. Through our commitment to community-building, advocacy, capacity-building, and creating opportunities, we have built a thriving community of 216 members, starting with just 7 in 2017.
We envision a regulatory and business environment that supports the growth and profitability of Fintech businesses in Uganda to drive greater access to affordable financial services and promote financial inclusion.
