Nigeria-based Kuda, which operates its own mobile-first challenger bank, now has $10 million after a funding round in what TechCrunch reported is the biggest seed round ever raised in Africa.

Nigerian digital banking startup Kuda has launched a COVID-19 fund to help buy and distribute food and other essentials to people badly affected by the economic impacts of the pandemic in Lagos.

The bane of traditional bank charges is not new to many Nigerians and Africans. Aside from the hassle of visiting branches to get account updates and request for ATMs, the infrastructure itself has time and again proved porous. Bank accounts have been breached, and hackers have carted away with sums of customers’ money in situations banks would rather not take responsibility for. Is Kudabank the answer?

Kuda, Nigeria’s first digital-only bank with a standalone license, has raised $1.6 million in pre-seed funding led by Haresh Aswani, as reported on Wednesday (Sept. 11).
