Kuda Bank revolutionized and simplified banking services in Nigeria. The bank does this by giving verified users an account number and allowing them to carry out financial transactions all on their smartphone with the Kuda app.
You can send and receive money, pay for utilities, and even take a loan through the mobile app. But in comparison with conventional banks that have branches across Nigeria, does Kuda Bank have branches? This article aims to provide an answer to this question.
Does Kuda Bank Have Branches in Nigeria?
Without mincing words, NO! Kuda Bank does not have any physical branch in Nigeria. Kuda Bank is a virtual (or online-only) bank whose services are only accessible through its mobile app known as the Kuda app. Kuda Bank operates digitally and has eliminated the need to have physical branches across Nigeria – it is the first Nigerian bank to operate in this way.
Kuda Bank is registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with registration number RC 796975 and also fully licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to operate as an online bank. Going by this, Kuda Bank has no physical branch across Nigeria, unlike conventional banks.
To become a Kuda Bank account holder, all you need to do is simply download the Kuda app for your smartphone (Android or iOS), register, and get verified. Once you’re registered and verified, you have become a bonafide Kuda Bank customer and can access any of the bank’s services anywhere in Nigeria using its mobile app.
All regular banks in Nigeria have branches at different locations across the country and the reason for these branches, aside from offering transactional services, is to assist their customers in resolving account-related issues. Also, customers can also make inquiries from these branches and get a valuable response.
