PostBank grabbed attention at the massive agricultural show that brought together farmers from across East Africa. The bank staged special sessions to teach rural women about money-making farming loans during the week-long event. Julius Akais from PostBank spoke to women leaders from Uganda, Kenya, and Zambia about getting cash for their crops. The 31st National Agricultural Show ran from late June into early July with the theme of technology driving farm wealth. Hundreds of farmers packed the venue to learn about new ways to boost their harvests.
The bank rolled out details about their Large-Scale Commercial Farmers Scheme and Grow Loans that help farmers expand their operations. Akais walked the women through different lending options including group loans, input financing, and seasonal payment plans. He explained how mobile banking makes it easier for rural farmers to access money without traveling to city branches. The presentation covered ways to measure how women farmers benefit from these financial programs. PostBank wants to bridge the gap between farmers and the money they need to grow bigger crops.
The bank keeps showing up at farming events because agriculture employs most Ugandans and drives the economy forward. PostBank recently won multiple awards from the Bank of Uganda for their work supporting small farmers and rural businesses. The agricultural show gives them a perfect chance to meet face-to-face with the people they want to help. Bank officials say they plan to keep expanding their reach into farming communities across the country.
