Do they have ATMs in Uganda that visitors can use?

Yes, Uganda has a reliable network of ATMs in major cities and towns that international visitors can use. ATMs from reputable banks like Stanbic Bank, Absa, and Centenary Bank accept foreign cards, especially those on Visa and Mastercard networks. In Kampala and Entebbe, ATMs are easy to find, but in smaller towns and rural areas, ATM access may be limited, so plan by withdrawing enough cash before heading to more remote locations. Be mindful of bank charges for international withdrawals, which can vary depending on your home bank. It’s also a good idea to inform your bank of your travel plans in Uganda to avoid unexpected card declines due to foreign transactions. Most ATMs dispense Ugandan Shillings only, so confirm currency needs accordingly. For safety, try to use ATMs located within bank branches, shopping centers, or other secure areas, especially if withdrawing cash after dark. Regularly check your transaction receipts to monitor any potential discrepancies.
