It’s therefore a cash and cash country; In Uganda you cannot survive with Credit Cards and
Travellers’ Cheques, to haveit exchanged into cash is quite a tiresome process.
If you must use Credit / Master Visa Cards, then this must be done prior to travel time. Very
few banks do offer online transactions by credit cards.
These Credit Cards can be used for money transactions with a few banks like Orient Bank,
Barclays Bank among others but this charges a fee of 5% of total amount to be transacted.
There are also ATM Machines for various Ugandan banks and are widely spread throughout
the major towns of Uganda and they too can be used when transacting monies.
