PROBLEMS KUDA IS SOLVING IN UK FOR AFRICANS

Kuda bank is revolutionizing its banking activities, before now Africans in Uk have the big hurdle of sending money to their respective African countries.

This hurdle comes in the form of charges and the rate attracted by transfer,setting up accounts etc. according to kuda co-founder Mr.Babs Ogundeyi.

“Africans in the UK are faced with barrier after barrier when it comes to financial services – from challenges setting up accounts to prohibitive and inconsistent fees on meaningful transfers,” said Kuda CEO and co-founder Babs Ogundeyi.

As a result, Uk based Nigerians are forced to limit each transfer to a few hundred dollars, just to avoid the extra huge charges, for example Nigerians pay 8% to send money from uk to Nigeria ,but with kuda new remittance feature, Nigerians can now send up to 10,000 pounds with just 3 pounds flat fee.

The new remittance features available now in kuda ios, andriod and web applications, and more African countries are expected to be added.

Kuda bank is massively growing its services and aims to use technology make life simplier.
