Who owns Mangu Cash

Back

Mangu Cash is operated by Volantis Company Limited .

What Is Known About the Company

Registered office: The official physical office is located in Kampala's Nakawa Business Park .

Operating status: Volantis Company Limited currently only operates in Uganda .

What is NOT known: There is no publicly available information about who owns Volantis Company Limited, who the directors are, or what other businesses they operate. This lack of transparency is a red flag.

The Danger of Unregistered or Opaque Loan Apps

Mangu Cash represents a growing problem in Uganda and across Africa: apps that look legitimate but operate without proper oversight.

What happens when ownership is hidden:

  • If something goes wrong, you do not know who to sue
  • The owners can simply shut down one app and reopen under a new name
  • There is no accountability or public track record
  • The company can avoid regulatory scrutiny

The government's position: The Bank of Uganda is investigating Mangu Cash. The State Minister for Finance has stated that their actions are "illegal" . But until the investigation concludes, the company continues to operate.

Before Downloading Any Loan App (General Warning)

  • Step 1: Check if the company is registered with your country's central bank. In Uganda, that is the Bank of Uganda.
  • Step 2: Search for news about the company. If a member of Parliament has called them "criminal," take that seriously .
  • Step 3: Look for a physical address. Mangu Cash has one, which is better than many apps. But an address alone does not make a company legitimate .
  • Step 4: Ask the company directly: "What is your license number from the Bank of Uganda?" If they cannot answer, do not borrow.
  • Step 5: Read the 1-star reviews on the Google Play Store. That is where victims share their stories.
  • Step 6: Never, ever grant access to your contacts, SMS, or photos. No legitimate lender needs this information from any borrower anywhere in the world.
