🇺🇬 Send UGX100,000 in Uganda: fees by provider
To send UGX100,000 in Uganda, Airtel is free, while the others charge up to UGX1,000.00. So the cheapest is Free and the most expensive UGX1,000.00.
UGX100,000 is a common mid-size amount in Uganda — roughly a week of groceries in Kampala. Uganda is an MTN MoMo and Airtel Money duopoly, with Wave a newer low-fee entrant.
A 0.5% excise sits on cash WITHDRAWALS (not on sends), so the send fee and the later cash-out levy are two separate things to plan for in Uganda. At 0% effective, this is where comparing providers pays most — the relative gap between cheapest and priciest is wide around here.
The Uganda send tariff is banded by amount: flat UGX1500 UGX125,001–UGX250,000; flat UGX1700 UGX250,001–UGX500,000; flat UGX1800 UGX500,001–UGX1,000,000; flat UGX1900 UGX1,000,001–UGX2,000,000; flat UGX2000 UGX2,000,001–UGX4,000,000. That is why the cost depends as much on the amount as on the provider.
