Overview

BBU is involved in all aspects of commercial banking, focusing on large corporations, small and medium enterprises, and individuals. BBU is a subsidiary of the Bank of Baroda (BoB), an international bank with headquarters in Mumbai, India.

History

BoB opened its first overseas branches in Mombasa, Kenya and Kampala, Uganda in 1953. BBU commenced operations in Uganda on 18 December 1953, initially as an overseas branch of BoB. On 1 November 1969, BBU was incorporated in Uganda. In 1972, BBU acquired the banking business of the Bank of India Uganda Limited, and the government of Uganda acquired a 49 percent shareholding in BBU, leaving BoB with a 51 percent shareholding. In 1999, the government divested its 49 percent shareholding, returning full ownership of BBU to BoB.[3] In November 2002, BBU offered 20 percent of its shares to institutional and private investors on the USE through an initial public offering.[4]
