Kuda
Kuda is a Nigerian digital-first retail bank — branded "the money app for Africans" and "the bank of the free" — founded in 2019 by Babs Ogundeyi and Musty Mustapha and headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria with operations in the United Kingdom. Kuda's Nigerian entity, Kuda Microfinance Bank, holds a national microfinance bank license from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Kuda EMI Limited operates as an FCA-authorised electronic money institution in the UK. Kuda offers retail banking accounts with zero or low fees, debit cards, instant transfers, bill payments, savings ("Spend+Save"), investments, overdrafts, and personal loans through its iOS, Android, and web apps, plus a Business banking suite covering expense accounts and cards, payroll, invoicing, softPOS and physical POS terminals, business loans, and CAC business registration. Kuda also exposes an Open API ("Kuda Open API") aimed at fintechs, marketplaces, and businesses that want to embed Nigerian banking primitives — virtual accounts, name enquiry, intra- and inter-bank transfers, balance inquiry, transaction history, bill payments, and disbursements — directly into their own products, with sandbox and live environments, RSA-encrypted request payloads, and client libraries for Node.js, PHP, C#, Rust, and Kotlin hosted under the kudabank GitHub organization.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles Kuda the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Kuda scores 12.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Kuda
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Kuda. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
