If you have some interest in Kuda bank overdraft we hope this article breaks it down as much as possible.
Information about Kuda Bank Overdraft
On its website Kuda bank describes the Kuda Overdraft as short term loans you can take anytime as long as you use your account regularly.
However we found out that as a Kuda bank customer you may not immediately be eligible to take the overdraft until you’ve operated your bank account for several months as well as done a decent volume of transactions through it.
There is nowhere they state how much or the volume of transactions (deposits for eg) that you need to have done via the bank app to qualify for the kuda bank overdraft. We estimate that for a user to be eligible he/she must have done at least hundreds of thousands of Naira in transactions (especially deposits).
We also think it helps if you use your kuda bank to receive periodic, regular payments like salaries, interests on investments etc.
After some months of using your kuda bank regularly you can then try to apply for the kuda bank overdraft.
