The recognition reflects Equity Bank Uganda’s long-standing partnership with the AIDO Network, a global Pan-African organisation representing more than 70,000 members focused on historical justice, repatriation and socioeconomic reintegration for Africans in the diaspora, including Afro-Caribbean communities reconnecting with their ancestral roots.
“Over the last few months, a massive amount of work has gone into this, culminating in over 70,000 members of the global African diaspora casting their votes online. Equity Bank consistently stood out at the absolute front as the favourite diaspora bank for global Africa,” said Paul Jones Eganda I, president of the AIDO Network and chairman of the Global African Diaspora Kingdoms.
According to Winfred Warui, Senior Manager International Banking and Cross-Border Payments at Equity Bank Uganda, the award validates years of strategic investment in financial infrastructure tailored to Ugandans and Africans abroad.
The Bank has increasingly shifted its diaspora banking model beyond simple remittances for consumption, instead positioning it as a gateway to long-term wealth creation. Through fixed deposit accounts and high-yield savings products, diaspora clients can build assets and generate returns while investing back home.
