To get your Kuda Business account approved and active, you'll need to complete a Know Your Business (KYB) process. This includes verifying your business address. Here's how to do it right the first time:

Document requirements

The documents you provide must:

  • Include your submitted operating address

  • Be under your company legal/trading name

  • Be dated within the last 3 months

Supported documents

We accept any of these documents as proof of address:

  • Utility bills (e.g. electricity, water, waste, DStv or GOtv)

  • Bank statement from a physical bank

  • Tax assessment or tax clearance certificates

  • Rental agreement signed by you, confirming a duration of 6+ months and valid on the day of onboarding

  • Three consecutive invoices and a contract from a co-working space provider, valid on the date of onboarding and containing your operating address (if dated within the last 6 months)

  • Sworn affidavits (e.g. notarised copies of declaration or statement of address, or a court affidavit from any Nigerian High Court)

  • Other documents issued by a reliable authority (e.g. land use charge receipts, notice of tenement rate assessment, or estate/serviced apartment receipts that include your name or business name)

Quick tip: Generate a proof of address online

You can quickly generate a valid utility bill through services like Buypower.ng. Here's how:

  1. Sign up or log in to www.buypower.ng

  2. Purchase electricity units for your prepaid meter

  3. Generate the receipt

This receipt can serve as a valid proof of your business address.

Remember:

  • Make sure all document copies are clear and legible

  • If we reject your proof of address, sign in at business.kuda.com, enter your correct business address, then upload a new proof of address
