Most financial products do not fail because they are poorly designed. They fail because they are launched before institutions truly understand the people they are meant to serve. Uganda is young – not just demographically, but economically. 78% of the population is under 35, digitally connected, ambitious, and navigating financial independence earlier than previous generations.
