The story

In November 2007, the first branch of KCB Bank Uganda opened in Kampala, Uganda's capital city, following licensing by the Bank of Uganda. Since then, the bank has opened 15 more branches in the country. In November 2017, the bank marked 10 years of presence in the country. At that time, KCB had 16 branches, eight of them in Kampala and eight others in major cities and towns around Uganda.

KCB is a co-financier of EACOP. In March 2025, eleven activists who peacefully delivered a petition to stop funding the project at KCBs Kampala branch were arrested and taken to a maximum security prison.
