Kuda, the challenger bank for Africans, delivers free debit cards without maintenance fees across Nigeria to promote cashless payments
In a move aimed at driving its independent payment cards offering, Kuda Technologies, the challenger bank for Africans, has partnered with Network International, the leading enabler of digital commerce in Africa and the Middle East.
Kuda’s proposition of zero fees on cards, account maintenance and transfers as well as its low-interest credit offering delivered conveniently through smartphones and the web have made it particularly attractive to millennials, and the bank now has well over a million customers in its launch country, Nigeria.
As Kuda continues to grow significantly, switching from a third-party card provider to the independent production of physical and virtual Visa-branded cards powered by Network International will give the bank more control over the quality of card services it offers while also facilitating its mission to make banking accessible, affordable and rewarding for Africans.
