The account offers customer digital connectivity through DTB 24/7 Mobile Banking that enables timeless and borderless secure banking. The customer can easily make deposits, withdrawals, payments, purchases transfer funds, and control their Bank account on the go.

With the DTB Digital revolution, the customer will perform 6 transactions in real-time and only pay UGX3,000. The beneficiary incurs zero banking cost.
