Bank of India (Uganda) Limited (BOIUL), commonly referred to as Bank of India (Uganda), is a commercial bank in Uganda. It is licensed by the Bank of Uganda, the national banking regulator.[3]

Overview

As of June 2012, BOIU was a small, but growing, financial services provider in Uganda. The valuation of its total assets and shareholders' equity are not publicly known.

History

Bank of India began its international expansion in 1946 by opening its first branch in London and the first Indian Bank to do so. It opened branches in Tokyo (1950), Singapore (1951), Kenya and Uganda (1953), Hong Kong (1960) and so on. Following the expulsion of Asians from the country by Idi Amin in 1972, BOIU sold its assets to Bank of Baroda and exited the country. In 2012, the BOIUL returned as it was issued a commercial banking license by the Bank of Uganda in March 2012. BOIUL commenced business operations on 10 June 2012. The Bank has been making profits from the first year of its operations. [4][5][6]
