UAP Old Mutual has officially rebranded to Old Mutual Uganda, a move marking a new phase in the company’s growth and its commitment to promoting financial wellness across the country.
The rebrand, aligns Uganda’s operations with Old Mutual’s pan-African identity, creating a single, unified brand presence across the continent.
Speaking at the launch, Clement Chinaka, Managing Director of Old Mutual Africa Regions, described the transition as “a historic moment,” emphasizing that the change represents more than a new name.
“UAP Old Mutual Uganda is now officially Old Mutual Uganda. As Old Mutual, we are part of a premium pan-African operation that has facilitated the financial wellbeing of Africans for 180 years,” he said.
Arthur Oginga, CEO of Old Mutual East Africa Group, noted that the rebrand will enhance business synergies and strengthen customer value.
“With Old Mutual’s 180-year heritage, we renew our promise to help customers and communities achieve their lifetime financial goals. A new chapter of financial wellness truly begins today,” Oginga said.
The Ministry of Finance Permanent Secretary, Ramathan Ggoobi, commended Old Mutual’s contribution to Uganda’s financial sector, urging insurers to align with the government’s ‘tenfold growth strategy’ aimed at achieving a $500 billion GDP by 2040. He praised the company’s resilience and heritage, saying it has “played a pivotal role in supporting Uganda’s economic transformation.”
Meanwhile, Dr. Kaddunabbi Ibrahim Lubega, CEO of the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), called the rebrand “timely and strategic,” noting that it enhances efficiency and governance in the insurance industry while reinforcing policyholder protection.
The rebrand follows Old Mutual’s gradual consolidation of its East African businesses after acquiring UAP Group in 2015, with earlier transitions in Rwanda (2021) and Kenya (2023).
Operating now as Old Mutual Uganda, the company’s Life Insurance, General Insurance, and Asset Management subsidiaries will function under one unified brand—positioning the firm to deepen its role as a trusted partner in Uganda’s journey toward inclusive financial growth.
