Uganda: Housing Finance Bank Appoints Twinamasiko to Lead Operations As Digital Banking Expands

What the report says

Housing Finance Bank in Uganda has named David Twinamasiko as Head of Operations, according to a report published by The Independent in Kampala and distributed by AllAfrica. The appointment took effect on November 2, 2026, and comes as the lender broadens its digital and self-service banking offerings.

The bank is investing in a revamped mobile app and plans to expand its ATM network, part of a wider effort to improve customer access and service delivery. HFB said those changes depend on stronger internal processes, dependable infrastructure and coordinated operations so services remain consistent across digital channels, ATMs and branches.

Twinamasiko said his focus will be on reinforcing the systems that support the bank’s growing range of services. He has more than 25 years of banking experience, including over 17 years at HFB, where he has worked in branch management, electronic delivery channels and alternate banking. His earlier roles also included positions at Barclays Bank Uganda, DFCU Bank and PostBank Uganda.

The report adds that the appointment reflects a broader shift in banking toward digital platforms and alternative channels, which places greater weight on back-office operations and service reliability. HFB also recognized James Daniel Nsibuka for leading operations in an acting capacity during the transition.
