Pearl Bank's mobile wallet Wendi launched a campaign offering fuel vouchers, smartphones, and cash prizes for transactions.
Pearl Bank's mobile wallet, Wendi, has started a weekly rewards campaign for customers making digital transactions of at least Shs10,000. The campaign, named Wendi Ku Win, began on November 6, 2026, at Kampala’s Old Taxi Park. Prizes include fuel vouchers, smartphones, household appliances, and cash.
The initiative, launched in partnership with the Uganda Taxi Operators Federation (UTOF), aims to encourage digital financial services adoption.

Transaction values increased by 42.4 per cent to Shs14.2 trillion in the same period. Wendi also offers a savings product with a 12.5 per cent annual interest rate.
