KUDA has partnered with Vendy, a marketplace on WhatsApp, to integrate Kuda Pay ID as a payment option for buyers on Vendy.

With Vendy integrating Kuda as a payment provider, buyers can make cardless payments with a Kuda Pay ID when they are buying from Vendy sellers on WhatsApp. By authorising a direct debit with a Kuda Pay ID, customers can protect their financial information, significantly reducing the risk of card fraud or unauthorised transactions.

Charity begins at home they say and therefore our goal is to make Commerce as Simple as a Chat for everyone.”

The Kuda-Vendy partnership supports Nigeria’s growing digital economy by providing practical payment solutions that enhance financial inclusion. WhatsApp has become a popular platform for business interactions.
