From Fraine Supermarket to Caramel, dfcu VISA Card users get more from every purchase

What the report says

dfcu Bank has launched an end-of-year promotion for VISA cardholders in Kampala, Uganda, aimed at encouraging more cashless spending during the festive season. According to The Independent Uganda, the campaign runs under the theme “Pay. Save. Get More.” and is scheduled to continue until 31 December 2026.

The bank says customers can receive up to UGX 40,000 in cashback for every UGX 500,000 spent at merchant point-of-sale terminals that accept dfcu cards. The offer is presented as equivalent to as much as 8% back on eligible purchases. In addition, the campaign includes discounts of up to 20% on online shopping and airline bookings. The travel deals are tied to bookings with Emirates, Qatar Airways and Ethiopian Airlines.

The article says the promotion is meant to cover common holiday spending categories such as groceries, dining, fuel, retail, hospitality and travel. Isaac Bigirwa, dfcu Bank’s head of cards and payments, said the bank sees the final quarter of the year as a peak spending period and wants to give customers a practical reason to use their card more often. He also said card payments can be safer and more convenient than carrying cash.

The campaign is being highlighted at outlets including Fraine Supermarket and Caramel, though dfcu says the cashback applies more broadly wherever its cards are accepted. The bank is promoting the offer through social media, radio, television and merchant demonstrations, as part of a wider push toward secure, cashless payments.
