Strong SME lending partner — competitive rates
Sidian has been our primary banking partner for 3 years. Their SME loan approval process is notably faster than the bigger banks — we received our KES 4M working capital facility within 8 days. The relationship manager understands our business cycle. The mBanking app has improved significantly in the past year though it still lags behind Equity and KCB in terms of UX polish.

Best trade finance experience at a mid-tier Kenyan bank
Used Sidian for import LC issuance on a China-Kenya trade deal. Their trade finance team in Mombasa branch are exceptionally knowledgeable about port logistics and customs procedures. LC was confirmed within 48 hours. Pricing was 15 basis points below what Standard Chartered quoted. Will use again.

Executive summary

East Africa’s oil and gas sector stands at a defining inflection point. Uganda’s Lake Albert basin — with confirmed reserves of 6.5 billion barrels of oil-in-place — is moving into commercial production phase, anchored by the TotalEnergies-led Tilenga and CNOOC-operated Kingfisher upstream projects. The East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP), stretching 1,443 km from Hoima, Uganda to Tanga, Tanzania, is now 72% engineered and represents the largest infrastructure project in East Africa’s history at an estimated USD 5 billion.

Tanzania’s offshore gas sector presents a parallel long-cycle opportunity: the country holds an estimated 57 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves, with the planned LNG export terminal at Lindi representing a USD 30B+ capex programme if it reaches final investment decision. South Sudan continues to produce from mature Nile Rift Basin fields, though political risk and ageing infrastructure constrain production potential.

UNOC holds a 15% participating interest in the Tilenga and Kingfisher projects. First oil production remains targeted for 2026–2027 pending EACOP construction completion.

⚠ ESG note: EACOP has faced sustained opposition from European institutional investors and NGOs on environmental and social grounds. UNOC and TotalEnergies have engaged with affected communities and submitted revised environmental plans to Ugandan and Tanzanian regulators.

The LNG export terminal project at Lindi, if it reaches FID, would represent Tanzania’s single largest economic project and catapult the country into the top 10 global LNG exporters by volume.
