Is Kuda a real bank?
Kuda's Nigerian banking entity is Kuda Microfinance Bank Limited, licensed by the CBN as a national microfinance bank. It is digital-first rather than branch-led, but Kuda also publishes a Lagos office. The licence category differs from a commercial bank, while eligible deposits remain within the NDIC insurance framework described by Kuda.
Does Kuda have a USSD code?
Kuda's current FAQ does not publish a general code for dialling into Kuda banking. When it says you can add money with USSD, that usually means using another Nigerian bank's USSD transfer channel to send funds to your Kuda account. Never enter a supposed Kuda USSD PIN into a code obtained from a comment.
How Kuda account tiers and limits work
Kuda's FAQ describes lower limits for an account opened with basic identity details and removal or increase of limits after approved government ID and verification. Exact thresholds and requirements can change. Use the limit shown inside your profile and submit documents only through the official app, not to a support number in a public post.
How to get a Kuda statement
In the app, open More and choose Statements & Reports, then select the needed period. For a visa, rent or business request, confirm whether the recipient needs a PDF, stamped statement or specific date range. Protect downloaded statements and avoid sending a full financial history when a shorter period will satisfy the request.
How to evaluate Kuda overdraft and business accounts
Overdraft eligibility depends on account use and Kuda's current assessment; it is not guaranteed by opening an account. Read the limit, interest, fees, repayment and debit rights before accepting. Kuda Business separates freelancer and registered-business options, so choose based on legal status, collections, invoicing and team needs.
How to resolve a failed transfer
First check Kuda's authenticated app, USSD receipt or internet-banking history for the final status. Ask the recipient to check their actual account statement rather than relying only on an alert. Save the amount, time, destination institution and session or transaction reference. Do not make the same payment again while the first is pending unless the need is urgent and you can track both references.
What account limits and verification mean
Digital registration can produce an account before every identity check is complete. The limits shown inside Kuda's official channel depend on the account tier, documents and current regulation. Complete upgrades only through the institution's verified app, website or office. Do not pay a stranger to raise a limit, create loan eligibility or bypass a BVN or NIN check.
How to recognise fake customer care
A copied logo, business-name label or knowledge of your transaction does not prove that a caller represents Kuda. Start support from the official app or website and compare the current contact details. Never disclose an OTP, PIN, password, token code or complete card information. Do not install remote-control software or transfer money to a so-called safe account.
How to escalate an unresolved complaint
Report the issue to Kuda first and ask for a complaint reference. Keep the original transaction evidence, your timeline and every response. If the regulated institution does not resolve the matter through its complaint process, use the CBN complaint route with proof that you contacted the provider first. Describe the outcome you need, such as reversal, credit confirmation or account restoration.
Common tasks and safest next step
| Task | What to do |
|---|---|
| Open account | Use the verified Kuda app. |
| Get statement | Open More, then Statements & Reports. |

Before you contact customer care
Prepare the facts before reporting a bank issue. For failed transfer, unauthorized debit, ATM dispense error, POS dispute, app login problem or card issue, write down the date, time, amount, channel, beneficiary, transaction reference and what the app or receipt showed.
Do not include OTP, full card number, full PIN, password or token code in a complaint message. A support officer can investigate a transaction without those private credentials.
- Use official app, website, contact-centre, branch or verified profile details.
- Ask for a complaint or ticket reference when money is involved.
- Keep screenshots but hide OTPs, card details and sensitive balances where possible.
- If the bank does not resolve the issue within its complaint process, escalate with evidence through the appropriate regulatory route.
