Why “CrossKudi”?

“Cross” represents crossing borders.
“Kudi” means money in Hausa — one of Nigeria’s most widely spoken languages.

Together, CrossKudi reflects a future where money moves freely and with purpose, without borders, without friction.

👤 Founder’s Note

“As a Nigerian immigrant, I’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to send money across borders — the delays, the costs, the pain. I’ve also seen how people work around it: relying on friends or family abroad to pay locally on their behalf. It’s informal, risky, and those who help earn nothing for their effort.

I built CrossKudi to formalize what already exists informally — and turn it into a trusted, scalable network. One that empowers people and businesses to move money without friction and thrive globally.”
— Bobola Odebiyi, Founder & CEO

A Shift Already Underway

Traditional financial institutions were built for a different world, one where money moved slowly, liquidity was centralized, and trust required layers of paperwork. That model doesn’t serve today’s globally connected entrepreneurs or digital-first workers. In fact, millions of people are already helping others pay locally using informal networks and messaging apps.

CrossKudi turns this behavior into infrastructure.

We connect senders with trusted, local “Funders” who settle transactions in local currency, earning a fee while removing FX costs, delays, and banking barriers. This is decentralized liquidity in action. It's faster than banks, cheaper than remittance apps, and aligned with how people already operate on the ground.

The Opportunity Is Now

Stablecoin adoption is rising. Dollar demand in emerging markets is booming. And a new generation of digital entrepreneurs is skipping banks entirely in favor of flexible, borderless tools.

CrossKudi is building the financial backbone for this new economy. Our network is powered by real-world actors, not middlemen, utilizing blockchain rails for transparent, secure settlement. We’re creating economic opportunity on both sides of the transaction: for those sending payments, and for local partners helping fulfill them.

As we grow, we’ll introduce programmable payment flows, compliance layers to support regulation, and partner APIs that embed CrossKudi’s infrastructure into logistics firms, fintech apps, stablecoin issuers, and marketplaces. We’ll double down on referrals and social reach, deepen B2B integrations with SMBs, and grow liquidity through a decentralized network of funders.

A Call to Builders, Funders, and Partners

The future of global payments won’t be centralized. It will be blockchain-enabled, peer-connected, and AI-powered. We’re building that future today.

If you’re a developer, fintech operator, stablecoin innovator, global SMB, or investor excited about the future of payments and driving the global economy onchain, we want to hear from you!
