Fabian Kasi is set to leave Centenary Bank on June 30, 2026, bringing to an end a remarkable 16-year tenure as Managing Director of one of Uganda’s largest financial institutions.
Speaking at a ceremony held at Serena Hotel to celebrate his banking journey, Kasi reflected on the principles that shaped his leadership and encouraged young professionals to focus less on what they expect to earn and more on the value they can bring to the organisations they serve.
He emphasized that professionals who create value stand out, build trust, and open doors to greater opportunities and responsibilities.
Kasi leaves Centenary Bank with a significantly larger balance sheet than the one he inherited. When he took over leadership, the bank’s total balance sheet stood at slightly above Shs1 trillion. Under his stewardship, it has grown to nearly Shs9 trillion.
During his tenure, the bank also expanded its customer base from about 850,000 to approximately 3 million customers, while its agent banking network grew to nearly 9,000 agents across the country.
Kasi noted that trust has been central to the bank’s growth, stressing that customer confidence remains one of the strongest pillars in the banking sector.
He also highlighted financial inclusion as a key focus during his leadership, with programs targeting women, refugees, and young people—many of whom had previously been excluded from the formal banking system.
