About the builder

Hi, I'm Ayodeji.

"I think every kid in Nigeria should have their own card and app — so we can learn about money while we're still young, instead of figuring it out when we're adults."

I'm 11 years old. I came up with Kuddi because I watched friends lose cash, and parents with no idea what their kids bought. I want Access Bank to build this for Nigerian families — and I'd love to help test it first.

FAQ

Everything you're wondering.

Is this really for 6-year-olds?

The card and app work for kids 6–18. Under-8s have more parental controls; teens unlock investing lessons and eventually dollar cards for travel and study abroad.

How does it comply with CBN rules?

From May 2026, CBN requires BVN enrolment from age 18. Kuddi uses the parent's BVN and the child's NIN — fully compliant by design as a guardian-controlled structured product.

How does it make money?

Subscription (₦1,000/mo), card interchange fees, deposit float from School Fees Pots, school-partnership revenue share, and 40+ years of customer lifetime value as kids grow up into Access customers.

Why Access Bank, not Kuda or GTBank?

Access has the pieces no other Nigerian bank has: AccessMore's 5M+ users, AccessAfrica for diaspora remittances, DiamondXtra's reward-draw DNA, and the nation's biggest branch network. First mover wins the whole generation.

Can I see it working?

Yes — click the live prototype. Kid app on the left, parent app on the right. The "Demo Playbook" buttons act out the magic moments.
