How to get UGX before your trip to Uganda

A short practical guide for a first visit.

The Mir card in Uganda is not a reliable way to withdraw UGX.

Uganda - the country of gorillas, lakes, and national parks. UGX cash is needed for transport, markets, park fees, and local food. ATM24 lets you get Ugandan shillings before leaving Russia.

Cash at the office in Russia or bank transfer

Four routes are available: USDT TRC20 -> UGX cash; USDT TRC20 -> UGX bank transfer (confirm availability when submitting your request); RUB wire transfer -> UGX cash; RUB SBP/QR -> UGX cash. Choose a convenient option and lock the rate before payment.

Fee for smaller exchange amounts

Fee from 0.9%. The UGX final amount matters more than a separate percentage - check the amount you receive in the ATM24 calculator.

Exchanged non-cash rubles for Thai baht at a good rate, everything went very quickly, they found an ATM 2 minutes from the hotel. Thanks to manager Emil, he did his job a 5+. It's a pity you don't work 24 hours a day, I thought the number 24 meant that 😅

Frequently asked questions about currency exchange in Uganda

What is the UGX rate today?

The UGX rate is updated daily. For reference, check the live calculation: 100 USDT -> UGX: 364,767.94 UGX.

Does the Mir card work in Uganda?

The Mir card is not a reliable way to withdraw UGX. Even in Kampala, ATMs should be checked in advance. For safari routes prepare UGX cash in advance.

Can you pay in dollars or euros in Uganda?

USD can be useful for tours and lodges, but everyday expenses are more convenient in UGX: transport, markets, food. Old or damaged USD banknotes are accepted less favorably.

Is UGX cash needed in Uganda?

Yes - UGX cash is essential for transport, park fees, markets, and local food. Outside Kampala cash is practically mandatory.

Where to exchange money in Kampala?

Kampala has banks and exchange offices. For a favorable exchange compare the UGX final amount, not just the rate. Through ATM24 in advance - more convenient, as the rate is locked before payment.
