Sudo Africa

Sudo Africa is a Nigerian fintech company that provides an open API platform enabling businesses and developers to programmatically issue physical and virtual payment cards with advanced spending controls and real-time authorization. Founded in 2020 by Aminu Bakori and Kabir Shittu in Kaduna, Nigeria, the company handles compliance and bank relationships so that its customers — which include fintechs, microfinance banks, logistics companies, commercial banks, and e-commerce firms — can launch card products within days rather than months. Sudo Africa earns revenue through interchange fees, authorization fees, and card production fees.
