Internet access in Ghana has improved dramatically, but it is still not always available or affordable. Network outages, expensive data, and basic phone ownership are real challenges for many traders.

That is why KudiFlow works on USSD — the technology that powers every single mobile phone in Ghana, including basic feature phones.

What Is USSD?

USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) is the technology that lets your phone communicate with a server in real-time. It works on any phone, on any network, without internet.

Think of it as a text-menu system. You dial a code, and a menu appears on your screen. You select options by typing numbers.
