    Kuda helps lead the way with neobanking in Nigeria
    Mar 9 2021
    Babs is the co-founder and CEO of Kuda. Babs and his team are pioneering the expansion of financial inclusion, and the concept of neobanking in Nigeria. The Kuda Andriod app has been downloaded over 1 million times. A few years ago, Babs and a small team of people determined to transform banking launched a savings app for Nigerians. That app was the first step toward Kuda. Today, Kuda is even more determined and they’ve built a Central Bank-licensed, microfinance bank to help Nigerians get the best out of their money without overcharging them. Kuda includes tools for tracking spending habits, saving more, and making the right money moves. Kuda knows the pain that comes with using a traditional bank and they’re on a mission to make things work better for everyone.

  • Shipping daily is part of the culture at Wallets.Africa

    Shipping daily is part of the culture at Wallets.Africa
    Mar 5 2021
    John Oke is the Founder and CEO of Wallets Africa. Wallets.Africa is based in Nigeria and helps Africans and African owned businesses send money, receive money, make card payments, and access overdrafts. After working in the digital financial services sector for about a decade, the founding team came to the realization that customers' main gripes with traditional financial institutions always boiled down to poor customer service, accessibility, and unreasonable fees. The team looked at these problems and saw a future where people and businesses can make their bank app a key part of their daily life not only because it was easy to use, but mainly because it actually helped them become more healthy financially by providing basic banking services for cheaper, making it easier to budget spending and providing investment opportunities that enrich the everyday person. Wallets Africa was ultimately born out of this desire to make lives better. Wallets Africa is a Y Combinator alumni. They were recognized as one of 100 leading global innovators in financial services, the best electronic payment website in Nigeria in 2019 by NIRA, and one of the top 100 SMEs 2020 in Nigeria by Business Day.
