We’re a tribe of passionate and diverse people who dreamed of building an inclusive money app that Africans would love so it’s only right that we ended up with the name ‘Kuda’ which means ‘love’ in Shona, a language spoken in the southern part of Africa.
We’re giving Africans around the world a better alternative to traditional finance by delivering money transfers, smart budgeting and instant access to credit through digital devices. We’ve raised over $90 million from some of the world's most respected institutional investors, and we’re rolling out our game-changing services globally from our offices in Nigeria, South Africa, and the UK.

About The Company

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. We’re a lively, diverse, and collaborative international Tribe, with offices in London (our HQ), Lagos and Cape Town (with more locations soon to be announced).
