Credit Reference Bureau in Uganda: How to Check and Improve Your Credit Score

Banks, SACCOs and some lenders share borrower information with licensed credit reference bureaus. Your record shows how you repay loans.

The Financial Card

Borrowers are identified using a Financial Card or national ID details, which link credit history across lenders.

How to check your report

Request your report from a licensed credit reference bureau. You can request it periodically and dispute errors.

How to improve your score

  • Repay on time, every time
  • Avoid taking many loans at once
  • Keep old accounts in good standing
  • Settle overdue balances

Disputing errors

Contact the bureau and lender with evidence.
