ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of credit risk management and financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO in Uganda. The study was based on the following 4 objectives; (i) to assess the effect of credit terms on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO in Uganda, (ii) to determine the effect of credit standards on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO in Uganda, (iii) to determine the relationship between credit policy and financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO in Uganda and (iv) to establish the effect of collection policy on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO in Uganda. The study adopted descriptive survey design and a sample size of 113 respondents were used for this study. The findings revealed that; credit terms is positively (13=0.538) and statistically and significantly (p-value=0.000) affect financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO; credit standards is negatively (13=~0.O01) and does not statistically and significantly (p-value=0.990) affect financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO; credit policy is positively (13=0.773) and statistically and significantly (p-value=O.000) affect financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO and credit collection policy is positively (13=0.307) and statistically and significantly (p-value=0.000) affect financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO. The study concluded that; credit terms have a positive significant effect on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO; credit standards have a negative significant effect on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO; credit policy have a positive significant effect on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO and credit collection policy have a positive significant effect on financial performance of Bushenyi Peoples’ SACCO.
