Originally launched in 2017 as Kudimoney, an online lending platform, the company rebranded to Kuda in 2019 after receiving a microfinance banking license from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Kuda's mission is to make financial services more accessible, affordable, and rewarding for every African on the planet. It operates with a "neobank" model, providing zero-to-low-fee banking services, including checking and savings accounts, debit cards, money transfers, and credit facilities, all managed through its smartphone application. The parent company, Kuda Technologies Ltd, is based in the UK.
