Platinum Credit Uganda, a subsidiary of The Platcorp Group and a microfinance lender serving over 100,000 clients, has secured $4m in investment from Symbiotics, a Swiss asset manager, to expand financing for low-income households and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) across Uganda.
The $4m investment was provided over a term of 24 months and disbursed on 22 December 2025. Following the disbursement, Platinum Credit Uganda launched a phased offering of enhanced loan products. New loan applications under the expanded MSME and Household programmes are now open at all Platinum Credit Uganda branches and digital channels.
MSMEs account for over 90% of private sector firms in Uganda, yet they and low-income households continue to face significant barriers to accessing traditional finance. The new capital will allow Platinum Credit Uganda to offer flexible loan products tailored to the needs of MSMEs, as well as support low and middle-income households in managing essential expenses including education, health, and housing.
