Fabian Kasi is set to leave Centenary Bank on June 30, 2026, ending a 16-year run as Managing Director of one of Uganda’s biggest financial institutions.
At a ceremony held at Serena Hotel to celebrate his banking journey, Kasi reflected on the values that guided his leadership and urged young professionals to focus less on what they expect to earn and more on what they bring to the organisations they serve.
He said professionals who create value stand out, earn trust and open doors to bigger responsibilities.
Kasi leaves Centenary Bank with a much larger balance sheet than the one he inherited. When he took over, the bank’s total balance sheet was slightly above Shs1 trillion. It has since grown to nearly Shs9 trillion.
During his tenure, the bank also expanded its customer base from about 850,000 to approximately 3 million customers. Its agent banking network now stands at nearly 9,000 agents across the country.
Kasi said trust had been central to the bank’s growth, noting that customer confidence remains one of the strongest pillars in banking.
He also placed financial inclusion at the centre of the bank’s work, with programmes targeting women, refugees and young people, many of whom had previously been outside the formal banking system.
