About Uganda Money

Meet the founder

Robert Mukiza

Founder & Editor · Forex Trader · Crypto Investor · Financial Advisor

Robert Mukiza is a forex trader and crypto investor based in Kampala, Uganda. He has been actively trading forex and cryptocurrency markets since 2015, specialising in gold (XAU/USD), EURUSD, and the Volatility 75 Index on Exness and Binance.

Over the years, Robert has developed a disciplined approach built on technical analysis, strict risk management, and a deep understanding of how global market sessions affect Ugandan trading hours. He trades primarily during the London session and London-New York overlap — the windows he has found most consistent for gold and major forex pairs from Kampala.

Robert founded Uganda Money to solve a problem he experienced personally: there were no reliable, Uganda-specific resources for traders navigating MTN Mobile Money deposits, Ugandan shilling conversions, and international forex platforms. Every guide he found was written for Western audiences. Uganda Money is the site he wished had existed when he started.

As one of the more recognised forex traders in Uganda, Robert mentors aspiring traders — focusing on realistic expectations, proper demo account practice, and why most beginners lose money before finding consistency. His view: becoming a successful forex trader in Uganda takes 1–3 years of genuine practice, and anyone who promises otherwise is selling something.

Our mission

Uganda Money was built on a simple observation: global finance websites write for Western audiences, while local Ugandan finance content is often thin, outdated, or — worse — designed to promote scams. Robert created this site to fix that. Uganda Money treats Ugandan readers as intelligent adults who deserve honest, complete, locally-relevant information.

Every guide on this site is written with the Ugandan context in mind: MTN and Airtel Mobile Money, Ugandan shilling (UGX) pricing, local regulatory considerations, and real examples from traders in Kampala and across the country.

Our editorial principles

How we make money

Uganda Money is a free resource. We cover costs through affiliate partnerships — when you click a link on this site and sign up with a platform like Exness or Binance, we may earn a commission from that platform. This commission is paid by the platform and costs you nothing extra.

Our current affiliate partnerships include:

• Exness Partners — we earn a commission when users sign up and trade via our Exness links
• Binance Affiliate Programme — we earn a share of trading fees from users who sign up via our Binance links

These relationships do not influence editorial judgment. Robert recommends only platforms he has personally evaluated. If a platform was harmful to readers, it would not appear on this site regardless of any commission arrangement. For full details, see our disclaimer and affiliate disclosure.

What we are not

• We are not a broker or exchange — we do not handle your money or execute trades
• We are not affiliated with the Bank of Uganda or any government body
• We will never contact you on WhatsApp offering investment tips, signals, or "special opportunities"
• We are not able to recover money lost to scams — contact Uganda Police CID for that
