Context and Rationale

Africa’s financial sector has experienced rapid digital growth, driven by fintech innovation, mobile banking, and cross-border digital transactions. This expansion, while improving financial inclusion, has also increased exposure to cyber fraud and financial crime.

Uganda and the wider East African financial sector have faced cases such as digital payment fraud, insider threats, SIM swap schemes, and unauthorized access to financial platforms, resulting in substantial financial losses. Despite technology adoption, limited intelligence sharing and fragmented responses allow cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities.

This session provides a platform for Uganda’s financial sector, UBA, regulators, and cybersecurity experts to share practical case studies and intelligence-led solutions, drawing lessons from regional and global best practices.

Objectives

Facilitate experience-driven discussions on cyber fraud and threat intelligence across Uganda’s financial sector.

Highlight case studies from banks, fintechs, insurance providers, and payment service operators

Promote the sharing of best practices and lessons learned in fraud detection, response, and recovery.

Encourage intelligence collaboration among financial institutions, regulators, and law enforcement.
