Kuda’s Expansion in the United Kingdom

Kuda announced its expansion to the United Kingdom in November 2022. According to its CEO, Africans in the United Kingdom encounter difficulties gaining access to inclusive financial services.

From opening a working account to dealing with many rules and varying transfer costs. So, with this expansion, Kuda hopes to break down the many hurdles that Nigerians in the diaspora experience while transferring money back home.

Although Nigerians may only send money back home, for the time being, Kuda intends to extend its remittance business to other African nations such as Ghana and Uganda.

What Information Do I Need to Open a Pound (GBP) Account on Kuda Bank?

Because the expansion is aimed exclusively at Nigerians in the United Kingdom, there are several conditions to establish one. To get your account up and running, you’ll need the following items:

  1. Make sure you have a working UK phone number.
  2. A legitimate residence address in the United Kingdom in your name
  3. A genuine UK ID, such as your BRP or any other national ID.

Unfortunately, if you are a Nigerian resident in Nigeria or another country, you should consider Grey or Chipper Cash as alternatives.
