Commercial Director for Equiti Group in Africa, Moonika Jurgenfeldt, said:
We are proud to launch FXPesa in Uganda and to support the country’s initiatives to uplift the quality of life for its people through improved levels of financial literacy. Through FXPesa’s education programmes, we want to equip Ugandans to make informed financial and economic decisions that improve their income levels and drive economic growth. We plan to use our new FXPesa Academy in Kampala as an entry point into Uganda. We want to build on its success and expand to other locations in this great country to provide more Ugandans with the same opportunity. FXPesa’s expansion into Uganda is in line with Equiti Group’s global growth strategy and investment in Uganda and the rest of Africa. As we expand our operations across Africa, we remain committed to providing accessible and reliable financial knowledge to communities across the continent.
Education Lead for FXPesa Academy in Uganda, Norbert Kiiza Barigye, said:
We are thrilled that FXPesa Academy chose Uganda to launch their latest centre in Africa. Ugandans are very excited at the opportunity to learn more about financial literacy related to improving their wealth. The learnings will include risk controls, how to generate income by online trading and the convenience of safe deposits and withdrawals using mobile money. The numerous programmes offered by FXPesa will empower Ugandans with the right tools – as well as knowledge – to take sustainable decisions in the financial markets space.
