Licensed large SACCOs in Uganda: the running list
SACCOs reported by name as licensed by Bank of Uganda under the large-SACCO framework — compiled from media reporting, updated as further licences are reported.
SACCOs reported as licensed so far
Bank of Uganda has not, as of the last-verified date on this page, published an official online register of licensed large SACCOs that SenteRail has located and checked directly. The list below is compiled from media reporting of Bank of Uganda licence announcements and is presented as reported, not confirmed against a Bank of Uganda register. Always check with Bank of Uganda directly for the current, authoritative list.
| SACCO | Location | Reported | Source |

Media reporting puts the total number of licensed large SACCOs at six as of the last-verified date, against roughly 40 SACCOs reported above the thresholds — this page names the five reported by name in the sources checked; the sixth was not independently named in the sources reviewed. This list is updated as further licences are reported.
How this list is kept
This page is a running list, not a live feed. It's updated when SenteRail reviews new Bank of Uganda licensing announcements — there is no fixed schedule, and a gap between a licence being reported and this page updating should be expected. For the authoritative, current list, contact Bank of Uganda's Non-Bank Financial Institutions Department directly.
