Maximum Adjustable Limits

You can increase your limits within the following ranges:

Freelancer Accounts

  • Single transfer: Up to ₦5,000,000 (requires indemnity)

  • Daily transfer: Up to ₦10,000,000 (requires indemnity)

Full Business Accounts

  • Single transfer: Up to ₦25,000,000 (requires indemnity)

For even higher limits:

  • Freelancers: Up to ₦10,000,000 daily (maximum allowed)

  • Full Business Accounts: Up to ₦250,000,000 per transaction and daily

Note: Higher limits require Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) and compliance approval. Only Full Business Account holders can request limits above ₦5,000,000.


What You Need to Increase Your Limits

To unlock higher limits, ensure your registration is complete and all required business documents are submitted accurately. If your limit does not increase after registration, check that all requirements are met or contact customer support.

For requests beyond app-adjustable limits, you may need to provide:

  • Proof of Business Income: Documentation of accounts receiving funds, with invoices or contracts as supporting evidence.

  • Nature of Business Transfers: Description of the transfers’ purpose, recipient details, and, if applicable, paid invoices.

  • Regularity of Transfers: Information about how often you make transfers and any expected changes.

  • Reason for Increase: A written justification for the higher limit, such as business growth.

  • Additional Supporting Documents: Depending on your request, further evidence of income sources or other relevant documents.


Expense Account Limits

Expense Accounts within Kuda Business have fixed limits:

  • Maximum per-transaction: ₦5,000,000

  • Cumulative daily limit: ₦10,000,000

These limits cannot be changed. For larger transactions, use your main business account.


Understanding Account Tiers

Kuda Business accounts have transaction limits based on their verification tier:

  • Tier 1 & Tier 2: Basic registration, lower limits.

  • Tier 3: Full Business Account, highest limits (up to ₦100,000,000 daily).


Additional Notes

  • New Devices: Once you’re logged in on any device, you can transact up to your account’s limit.

  • Eligibility: Only Full Business Account holders can request transaction limits above ₦5,000,000. Freelancer accounts are capped at their specified maximums.

  • Business Justification: All requests for higher limits must be supported by valid business reasons and complete documentation.
