A few years ago, a small team of people determined to transform banking launched a savings app for Nigerians. That app was the first step toward Kuda. Kuda is a full-service digital bank. Our mission is to make banking accessible, affordable and rewarding for all Africans.  Kuda is free of ridiculous banking charges and great at helping customers budget, spend smartly and save more. We raised the largest seed round recorded in Africa, and completed Series B funding round in 2021, led by some of the world's most respected institutional investors.
