In October 2016, MyBucks acquired a minority stake in Opportunity Bank Uganda for an undisclosed sum, reflecting confidence in its growth potential.

The revenue model for Opportunity Bank Uganda is primarily based on interest income from loans and fees associated with its financial services. Clients engage in loan agreements to fund various needs, such as business expansion and education, generating consistent revenue through interest repayments. Furthermore, maintenance fees for savings accounts contribute to the bank's income, with its pricing structure aligning with industry standards to ensure competitiveness. Opportunity Bank Uganda is focused on developing new financial products tailored for its customers.

While specific launch dates are not disclosed, the bank aims to expand its offerings to better serve the evolving needs of the Ugandan market. Additionally, there are plans to extend operations into new regions within Uganda by the end of 2023. The recent acquisition by MyBucks in October 2016 will be leveraged to support these growth initiatives, enhancing the bank's capacity to reach more clientele and improve its service delivery.
