hello hello, mpumelelo here from nuud. firstly, since the last blog uganda and nigeria celebrated independence day, happy independence day!!! kenya also celebrated mashujaa day where heroes who contributed to the country's freedom and progress are celebrated. these days will always serve as reminders of what human liberty means and that we will always strive for liberty. always. all ways.

sooooooo, when we first launched, secret words appeared right after you signed up. and while that made sense to us, many of you told us something honest, it was confusing, too early, and too intimidating.

so, we listened.

secret words now live safely inside your profile. you can see them anytime you want, protected by your pin, away from the rush of sign-up screens. this way, you can explore nuud money first, understand how you'll use it, and only meet your secret words when you’re ready.

it’s a small change, but a big shift in experience. we believe security shouldn’t feel scary. it should feel natural. like something you can trust, not something you need to fear.

secret words are STILL the best-in-class way to secure assets. they’re your personal key to your money and data. only now, they’re easier to find, safer to store, and simpler to understand.

lose your phone? secret words bring your money back.
forget your PIN? secret words unlock your account.
move countries? secret words travel with you.

they are the safest way to keep your assets safe. not even nuud money’s best engineers can touch them.

thank you to everyone who reached out, who shared what felt confusing, and who’s helping us make nuud better every week.

for businesses, we're making it easier to send money to your teams across the continent, that feature is coming up soooooon. for now, we’re building a world where technology feels human again.

💚
mpumelelo
ceo, nuud money
advance your liberty.
