DFCU was established in 1964 as a development finance institution. Over the years dfcu is associated in various sectors: transport, education, floriculture, agriculture,manufacturing and agro-processing. In 2000, the company bought Gold Trust Bank and started commercial banking and renamed it dfcu Bank. Today dfcu Bank is a fast growing commercial bank offering a variety of innovative products and services.
dfcu Limited was started by the Commonwealth Development Corporation (CDC) of the United Kingdom and the Government of Uganda through the Uganda Development Corporation (UDC) under the name of Development Finance Company of Uganda Limited.
Subsequent restructuring saw International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the German Development Corporation (DEG) invest resulting in an equal stake of 25% for the shareholders. Its objective was to support long-term development projects whose financing needs and risk did not appeal to the then existing financial commercial lending institutions.
It is also a member of the Diamond Trust Bank Group a large financial services provider with operations in Burundi , Kenya,Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda.
