The Uganda Institute of Banking and Financial Services (UIBFS), is set to host the 22rd annual Bankers’ Gala slated to run from September 30 to October 31st.
The Bankers Gala 2022 was launched with a symbolic run by several Chief Executive Officers of leading financial institutions, at the Kampala Sheraton Hotel on Thursday September 29th 2022.

Sports Team Manager I&M Bank Godfrey Odoch poses IOC member William Blick during the launch of the bankers sports gala.


International Olympic Committee (IOC) member William Blick presided over the event as Chief Guest. Blick thanked UIBFS for taking sports seriously, and appealed to the financial institutions involved in the gala to constructively engage their customers to follow and participate.
“I want to thank UIBFS for taking sports seriously, but I also wish that all players involved can appeal to their customers to actively get involved in the gala, that’s the only way it can get bigger every other year. Eight million people bank both formally and informally, if we could have only 30% of those participating in this gala, then we will not only have a bigger event, but a healthier population as well,” Blick said.


Blick also urged banks to start up programs to help sensitize athletes on financial literacy, so that they are able to make well informed long term, and profitable financial decisions.
