Portfolio Jobs

Launched in 2017 as Kudi.ai, a chatbot that enables financial transactions through social apps, Nomba has evolved into one of Nigeria’s leading financial technology platforms. We began by empowering everyday people to serve as neighbourhood banks—offering essential services like withdrawals, transfers, and bill payments, especially in underserved communities. That foundation has grown into a powerful infrastructure that now processes over $1 billion in payments every month.

Today, Nomba serves more than 1 million customers—spanning consumers, agents, and businesses of all sizes. Our platform now includes a full suite of business banking tools such as advanced dashboards, treasury features, and integrated payment solutions that help businesses manage their finances and scale efficiently. On the consumer side, we offer intuitive tools for wealth building and financial control, including flexible savings options, spend analytics, scheduled transfers, and interest-free Islamic savings. We’re not just powering payments—we’re helping people and businesses move forward with confidence.
