Overview

It is primarily involved in the promotion of development through loans to rural farmers, processors of agricultural produce, small traders, small manufacturers, importers, and exporters. While engaged in all areas of commercial banking, the bank has a significant portion of its portfolio in the microfinance arena in an attempt to meet the needs of the many individuals and business entities with limited means. As of December 2015, the bank's assets were UGX:1.974 trillion, with customer deposits of UGX:1.380 trillion and shareholders' equity of UGX:400 billion.

History

In 1985, CRDT began to provide financial services to the public. The bank became a fully licensed commercial bank in 1993, after receiving a license from the Bank of Uganda. Since DFCU took over Crane Bank in January 2017, Centenary Bank has been the largest indigenous Ugandan bank.
