Creditinfo Leadership Team Visit Reinforces Strategic Partnerships Across East Africa
Over the past two weeks, senior leaders from Creditinfo travelled across East Africa, engaging with teams and partners in Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya. The regional visit, led by Satrajit Saha (Satty), CEO of Creditinfo Group, and John Cannon, Chief Commercial Officer, focused on strengthening relationships, connecting with local teams, and advancing conversations around financial innovation and fraud prevention across the region.
Throughout the visit, the leadership team held town halls with local Creditinfo teams, providing an opportunity to connect in person, recognise the work being done across the region, and reinforce the company’s shared vision for the future.
Alongside internal engagements, the visit included extensive meetings with CEOs and senior leadership teams from organizations across the financial ecosystem, including banks, telecommunications companies, microfinance institutions, and other partners. These discussions focused on the evolving financial landscape in East Africa and the growing importance of trusted data, digital identity, and fraud prevention solutions in supporting secure and inclusive financial services.
A highlight of the visit was the official launch of Creditinfo’s Fraud & ID Solution in Uganda, which brought together over 80 attendees from across the financial and technology sectors. Held at the Sheraton Kampala Hotel, the event marked an important step toward strengthening identity verification and fraud prevention in the market.
Opening remarks from Satty, Group CEO and Mark Charles Mwanje, Managing Director of Creditinfo Uganda, emphasized the growing importance of trusted digital identity solutions in today’s rapidly evolving financial landscape.
Guests also heard from Rob Meakin, who introduced the Fraud & ID solution and demonstrated how it supports institutions in identifying risk, preventing fraud, and strengthening trust across financial ecosystems.
A keynote address by Mackay Aomu, Director of Non-Bank Financial Institutions Supervision at the Bank of Uganda, underscored the importance of strong digital infrastructure and strategic partnerships in combating financial crime.
The evening concluded with a fireside discussion moderated by John Cannon titled “Collaborative Intelligence and Digital Innovation: Strengthening Fraud Prevention.” The panel brought together leading voices from across the industry, including Wilbrod Owor of the Uganda Bankers Association, Jackie Mbabazi from the Association of Microfinance Institutions of Uganda, Bwire Ivan Peter of the Financial Intelligence Authority, and Joseph Lutwama from Financial Sector Deepening Uganda.
The East Africa tour concluded in Kenya, where the team met with colleagues during a gathering that celebrated the continued growth and achievements of the regional team. The visit reinforced the strength of Creditinfo’s partnerships across East Africa, highlighting the organization’s continued focus on collaboration, innovation, and supporting stronger financial ecosystems across the region.
