Employer-Linked Payroll Deduction Lending Network

A B2B2C lending service that partners with mid-market employers (factories, retail chains, logistics firms) in Egypt to offer salary-deducted microloans to their employees. The employer acts as the collection guarantor—the lender deducts repayment directly from payroll, eliminating credit history and collateral requirements. Employees get 7-14 day approval, rates 18-24% APR (vs. 60-120% from informal lenders), and employers reduce turnover and improve workforce stability.

Original Problem

Unbanked and underbanked populations in emerging markets lack access to affordable consumer credit

Millions of people in Egypt and similar emerging markets are excluded from traditional banking systems and cannot access reasonably-priced loans for basic needs. They resort to predatory lending or go without credit entirely, limiting their economic mobility. Current solutions fail because traditional banks require collateral and credit history that unbanked populations don't have, while informal lenders charge exploitative rates.
