Pearl Bank

The Bank's journey started in 1998, after having operated as a Post Office Savings Department from 1926, then evolved to PostBank Uganda Limited, a government-owned institution dedicated to expanding access to affordable savings and credit services. 2021 was a key milestone in the bank's journey, as it gained the status of a model tier one commercial bank. Before attaining its commercial banking license, the Bank was a tier two credit institution from its inception in 1998. In 2023, the bank embarked on a 5-year strategic plan aligned with its tagline "Grow. Prosper," an abridged version of its purpose of "Fostering Prosperity for Ugandans," which is implemented through its high-impact goals: to drive sustainable financial inclusion and to stimulate entrepreneurship and services. As part of its strategic positioning, the 5-year journey encompasses a rebrand phase, ushering in the transition from PostBank Uganda to Pearl Bank. This was approved by the Bank's shareholder, the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development, at the Annual General Meeting on 5th June 2024. The Bank's rebrand is more than a name change; it is a strategic move to tap into opportunities within the country and across the region as it continues to extend tailored financial solutions that usher Ugandans toward opportunities that inspire their growth and prosperity.
