The Branch will, therefore, remain closed on Saturday 29th February 2020 to enable us to relocate to the new premises. During this period you can access our services through our digital channels-Quick Banking, ATMs and any dfcu Agent… We regret the inconvenience that this may cause and look forward to offering you excellent service at our new premises.” [caption id="attachment_6841" align="aligncenter" width="722"] Dfcu notice alerting its clients of new changes[/caption] Dfcu Bank controversially acquired Crane Bank Ltd in January 2017, after the Bank of Uganda put the former under statutory management and later closed, and sold it off.
