what’s the actual point of nuud money?
most money systems weren’t built with people like you and in mind.
they were built for borders, intermediaries, and large institutions first — and people were and are still an after-thought. that's probably why you need a "banker" who sometimes cannot even be reached. if you live, work, or do business across africa, you feel this friction every day. delays. fees. uncertainty. workarounds that become “normal”.
nuud money exists to remove that friction. nuud exists to advance human liberty.
not by promising everything at once, but by building a system people can actually rely on.
start with foundations
when we introduced self-banking for individuals and businesses, we were clear about one thing: this would be built over a long period of time. it will always be worked on.
phase one of nuud for business focuses on the basics done properly — paying teams and suppliers across borders, clearly and quickly, across nigeria, kenya, tanzania, and uganda.
it’s intentionally simple. financial infrastructure should be boring before it’s impressive. trust comes first. to us, this phase exists so money moves when it should, arrives where it’s meant to, and does so without friction or guesswork.
control, not complexity
while nuud for business continues to grow, nuud money for personal use continues to serve individuals across africa.
today, nuud helps you:
send usdc to mobile money wallets and bank accounts in nigeria, kenya, uganda, and tanzania
move money across borders with low fees
store your bitcoin securely in your nuud wallet
this isn’t about offering endless features. it’s about giving people control over their money — without needing permission, favours, or workarounds.
why this matters
money is essentially coordination. when it moves poorly, everything slows down — businesses, families, opportunities and joy. when it moves well, people plan. businesses grow. borders matter less. nuud money is built for that second world. the foundations we’ve laid allow us to expand carefully — more countries, more corridors, deeper support — without breaking what already works.
where this is going
we’re focused on practical progress. that makes sense for now and tomorrow. we are ultimately building financial infrastructure that’s reliable, understandable, and designed for how people in africa actually live and work.
that’s the point of nuud money.
