Symbiotics invested $4 million in Platinum Credit Uganda to enhance financial inclusion and support the growth of its MSME portfolio. The investment targets low-income households and MSMEs, which make up over 90% of Uganda's private sector but often lack access to traditional financial systems.

The funding was disbursed on December 22, 2025, and will enable Platinum Credit to expand its loan products. This initiative aims to provide working capital for entrepreneurs and improve access to flexible credit for low- and middle-income households, directly impacting community resilience. Currently, Platinum Credit serves over 100,000 clients, with a focus on marginalized groups.
