Barclays Bank will soon launch a mobile banking service, in which Ugandans in rural areas will be able to open up accounts without going to the bank premises.

Mr William Ssekabembe, the bank's regional manager for eastern, said the new service will see bank staff going over to meet rural people intending to open up accounts and not the other way round.

"In order to bring services nearer to the people, Barclays Bank is set to begin rural mobile banking services in order to enable our people begin saving and accessing their accounts without having to go the bank premises," he said.

He said the bank will also expand its branch network to the town of Malaba this week.
