The shilling has remained relatively stable over the years. Foreign currency can be exchanged at major banks and at various foreign exchange or FOREX bureaus. The best rates for exchange are offered at Standard Chartered and Barclay Bank. The foreign exchange bureaus offer lower exchange rates than most banks and the US Dollar offers the lowest rate of all foreign currencies. The rate for exchanging travelers checks is typically 2 percent lower than changing cash currency.
There are various ATMs located throughout the country and most accept all international credit cards. Barclays Banks in Kampala provides credit card cash withdrawals against the US dollar or Uganda shilling. Many larger hotels and resorts accept credit cards as well and most can provide cash withdrawals against credit cards. Funds are typically dispensed in shillings. Besides the shilling, the US Dollar is an accepted form of cash for many establishments in Uganda. Most larger stores, government offices and hotels will accept American Dollars as a form of payment for services and goods.
Exchanging foreign currency at banks and foreign exchange bureau offices is a relatively easy process, although it may take a bit of time. Most establishments will require proof of purchase before cashing travelers checks written from foreign banks. When purchasing travelers checks, visitors to Uganda should be certain to obtain and keep receipts or proof of purchase as these may be needed in order to exchange the checks in the country. Uganda has in the past been subject to circulation of forged travelers checks so proof of purchase is essential in exchanging them.
Restrictions on importing and exporting foreign or local currency are not noted, provided these currencies are declared upon entering and exiting the country. Those looking to exchange shillings into their original foreign currency upon leaving should be sure to keep receipts of original transactions to make the conversion simpler. Most banks and again, foreign exchange offices will exchange currency back into its original foreign state upon request. Many airports offer desks where currency exchanges are possible as well.
