How to Activate Spend and Save on Kuda Bank

To assist users with their savings culture, Kuda Bank decided to create a “Spend and Save” feature. This feature was designed to help save money each time they make a transaction. The way this feature works is that with each outgoing transaction, the platform would automatically help you save money. A certain percentage amount spent is deducted and saved each time you make an outgoing transaction. These transactions include bill payments and card transactions.
