Kuda is a money app for Africans on a mission to make financial services
accessible, affordable, and rewarding for every African on the planet.
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.
