Bank of Africa Uganda Limited, also known as BOA Uganda (BOAU), is one of the commercial banks in Uganda that have been licensed by the Bank of Uganda, the country's central bank and national banking regulator.2

The story

BOA Uganda started its operations in 1984 as Sembule Investment Bank (SIB). In 1996, SIB was purchased by Banque Belgolaise and the Netherlands Development Finance Company. The new owners renamed the bank Allied Bank. In October 2006, Banque Belgolaise sold its shares to investors that included the Bank of Africa (Kenya), Aureos East Africa Fund LLC, and Central Holdings (Uganda) Limited. The name of the bank was changed to Bank of Africa (Uganda) Limited.
