Nomba, formerly known as Kudi, is an African fintech company that traces its origins to 2017, when it began as a chatbot designed to simplify payments. It rebranded to Nomba in April 2022, signaling a bold transition into an omni-channel payment platform that equips businesses across the continent with integrated tools to accept and manage payments both online and offline.\u00a0<\/p>

At the heart of Nomba\u2019s offerings are its merchant-focused tools: it enables seamless onboarding, such that merchants can self-register in under five minutes and equips them with a unified dashboard and integrated terminal capable of handling cash, card, transfers, USSD, and QR across multiple touchpoints.<\/p>

Today, Nomba supports over 150,000 businesses on its platform, processes more than US$16 million in daily payments across over 500,000 unique transactions, and onboards over 10,000 new merchants every month\u2014demonstrating powerful reach and adoption in Nigeria\u2019s informal and formal business sectors.<\/p>

In May 2023, Nomba fetched a substantial US $30 million in pre-Series B funding led by Base10 Partners, with participation from Shopify, Partech, Khosla Ventures, and Helios Digital Ventures. The round valued the company at over US $150 million and will support the rollout of new vertical-focused tools such as the upcoming Nomba MAX POS terminal tailored for restaurants and logistics\u2014and deepen its mission to drive SME digitalization.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
