Justine Namata

Head of Financial Developments & Innovation, National Payments systems Department, Bank of Uganda

Greetings! I’m Namata Justine, a seasoned banker with 14 years of invaluable experience in the financial landscape. Currently at the helm of the Financial Development and Innovation Section at the Bank of Uganda, I’m passionate about steering the future of payments.
In my journey with the Bank of Uganda, I’ve been a driving force within the National Payment System Department. From managing the seamless operation of payment systems like RTGS, ACH, and CSD to my current role.
As the head of the Financial Development and Innovation Section, my focus is on catalyzing change. I spearhead the coordination of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) implementation while fostering a culture of innovation within the payments realm.
I hold a master’s in business administration from Uganda Management Institute, and I earned a Bachelors in Business Administration from Makerere University Business School.
Outside the professional sphere, I find joy in socializing with family and friends, walking, swimming as well as listening to music.
I’m always open to connecting with fellow professionals, innovators, and enthusiasts.
