Milwaukee-based CrossKudi continues to revolutionize the way people are sending money. Unlike old-school
money transfer companies that take a little piece with every step of the transfer, CrossKudi eliminates
burdensome fees, while allowing users to send money to individuals and merchants all over the world.
This inclusive platform capitalizes on blockchain technology to offer immigrants and underserved
communities an alternative designed to facilitate frequent transfers and protect hard-earned dollars. In
some cases, CrossKudi can even be a source of passive income for some.
The company name is a reference to the international transactions that have been a central part of the lives of immigrants living abroad.

Money term in Nigeria
Founder and CEO Bobola Odebiyi, CPA is a natural-born problem solver who knew there had to be a better way
to wire and receive money. As a Nigerian-American who deeply understands the pain points of his market,
Bobola created CrossKudi with a mission to deliver better value, ease, and reliability to fellow
immigrants who frequently send money home. Before starting CrossKudi, Bobola worked for Johnson Controls,
Ernst & Young, and PwC LLP where he participated in the company’s accelerator as a tax accountant.
During his time at PwC, Bobola also co-led the global Blockchain Community of Interest and trained
colleagues on the implementation of emerging technologies to better serve clients. Bobola holds a master’s
degree in professional accounting from UW-Milwaukee. He welcomes opportunities to serve others and hopes
to do so by growing CrossKudi.
