Kuda has joined Nigeria’s long list of financial service providers (Chipper cash, Bamboo, Chaka, Trove, Rise, etc.) that allows its users to trade foreign stocks. Kuda prides itself as the ‘Bank of the free’, so it is not surprising that stock trading is joining the long list of things the Kuda Bank app allows you conveniently access.
Unlike apps like Trove, which lets users trade US stokes as well as stocks traded on the Nigerian stock exchange, at the moment, Kuda only lets trading of US stocks. And in this article, we will be showing you how to do just that.
