Kuda has introduced a new feature allowing its customers to purchase eSIMs directly from the Kuda app.

This innovative service provides users with virtual SIM cards for seamless internet access across more than 60 countries including the US, UK, Canada, and Saudi Arabia as well as top tourist and business destinations in Europe and Africa.

Ravenewsonline reports that the new eSIM service offers a convenient way for Kuda customers to stay connected internationally without the need for a foreign data plan. Unlike traditional SIM cards, eSIMs are digital and can be embedded within devices such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

Kuda customers can now access internet data plans ranging from as low as 1GB, which is valid for seven days, to as high as 20GB, depending on their travel needs.

The eSIM itself is free; customers only pay for the internet data they need. Although the eSIMs do not come with a phone number, users can easily make and receive audio and video calls via apps like WhatsApp and FaceTime.

Nosa Oyegun, VP Product Innovation and Strategy at Kuda: “Our [Kuda’s] eSIM feature is a cost-effective and convenient way for our customers to stay connected while travelling.

“They won’t need to buy a SIM card at their travel destination, spend forex on data plans, or pay data roaming fees.”

The introduction of the eSIM feature marks another step in Kuda’s mission to provide innovative banking solutions that extend beyond traditional financial services and empower its users.
