In August year, Kuda Bank secured $500 million in funding from funders.
TechCrunch reports that the startup has closed, via its London entity, a Series B of $55 million — money that it plans to use to use the funds, not just on new services for Nigeria, but to prepare its launch into more countries on the continent and to build a new take on banking services for “every African on the planet.”
The funding was made at a valuation of $500 million, and it comes on the back of some impressive early growth for the startup.
