Comparing First Kudi with other Payment Apps

• First Kudi Vs Fliqpay

Fliqpay is a crypto-to-fiat payment gateway that was founded by Wole Ayodele to enable Africans to make direct crypto payments to their local bank accounts.

Both Fliqpay and First Kudi were established to give Africans easy access to payment infrastructure through blockchain tech.

However, if you are looking forward to signing up on either of the two platforms, you may need to consider some of their varying features.

This will help you to determine the platform that is more efficient to carry out your desired transaction needs. See the distinct features below.

• Fliqpay launched in 2019 and supports more cryptos than First Kudi: Some of the cryptos are; ETH, USDT, LTC, and XRP.

• First Kudi has a mobile app for easier transactions, but Fliqpay has only a web interface.
• Fliqpay supports the transfer of local currency to about 5 African countries, whereas, First Kudi, is just 2 countries.
• You can buy and sell crypto on First Kudi but you cannot do so on Fliqpay.

That is all I have got…click here to learn more about Fliqpay.

• First Kudi Vs Sesacash

Sesacash is a Ghana-based company founded in 2018 by Blaise Bayuo.

Just like First Kudi, Sesacash offers payment gateway services to Nigerians and Ghanaians.
