Kampala— Dfcu Bank has upped the ante in Uganda’s competitive banking sector with the launch of Dfcu Xclusive Banking, a premium service tailored for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking exclusivity and personalized financial solutions.
The grand unveiling at Kampala Serena Hotel drew top-tier attendees, including Deputy Governor of the Bank of Uganda, Prof. Augustus Niwagaba, and Minister of State for Trade, Industry, and Cooperatives, David Bahati—signaling the product’s strategic importance.
Beyond Banking—A Lifestyle Upgrade
Joanita Male, dfcu’s Head of High Net Worth Banking, emphasized that the service goes beyond high-limit transactions.
“Xclusive Banking isn’t just about deposits and withdrawals—it’s a curated financial journey designed for Uganda’s affluent,” she said.
Clients will enjoy:
✔ Priority banking access (dedicated relationship managers).
✔ Exclusive investment advisory (tailored wealth growth strategies).
✔ Luxury perks (airport lounge access, premium event invites).
A Nod to Uganda’s Economic Growth
Minister Bahati praised dfcu for leveraging Uganda’s liberalized economy to innovate.
“This initiative reflects how financial institutions can harness policy reforms to elevate service delivery,” he noted.
The Platinum Card—A Symbol of Prestige
Annette Kiconco, dfcu’s Chief Retail Banking Officer, unveiled the Platinum Card, a centerpiece of the package offering:
- Higher withdrawal limits.
- Global travel benefits.
- 24/7 concierge support.
Who Qualifies?
The service targets:
- Individuals earning UGX 15M+ monthly.

With Uganda’s private banking sector growing at 12% annually (Bank of Uganda, 2023), dfcu’s move signals a shift toward high-touch, high-value financial services—placing it ahead of rivals like Stanbic’s Blue and Absa’s Premier Banking.
“We’re not just offering accounts; we’re delivering prestige,” Kiconco affirmed.
