Like you never have to send in a mail or put up a notice before it is done. That alone fascinates me! I’ve has a seamless experience for close to 2 years now since I started using it.”

Makanjuola Oluwatobi S Said – “The app is really great and working perfectly. I’m 101% that your money is safe without removing ₦1 from it’s. You even get free transfer to other’s bank every month but I prayed you don’t have problems or issues with them because there customers services are really poor, you might not get replies 2days, but anything from that is really excellent. I recommend this..”

Negative Reviews

Sodiq Ahmed – “It’s so bad of Kuda, the only reason why I opened this was because of the virtual card! I requested for the card, I got it. But what’s the essence of getting a card that’s not working?! I’ve tried multiple times to use for payment online and I keep getting request failed! Please you guys should just go and remove that virtual card option abeg!”

Saviour Miracle – “Very bad. I can barely send money with hope if it getting to its destination in time. Even after failed transactions, refund is a problem. This is currently the worst banking system I’ve encountered. Since you won’t refund either of my transactions, best u shutdown my account cos I can’t continue with Ur kind of poor banking management.”
