The product will be based on Raseedi\u2019s \u201cproprietary technology and home grown credit scoring algorithm,\u201d the two said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The company has big expansion plans in the pipeline: <\/strong>After launching in Egypt \u2014 which will take roughly six months \u2014 Raseedi will look into expanding into markets that could include Morocco, Uzbekistan, as well as other economies in Central and West Africa, Raseedi CEO Ahmed Atalla told EnterpriseAM. \u201cInitially, we\u2019re going to be looking at markets with a significant unbanked population. Tentatively, we\u2019re planning on launching in Morocco within 12 months,\u201d he told us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>\u201cWe currently have around 120k active monthly users on our platform \u2014 we plan to push <\/strong><strong>that figure to around 1.5 mn within the next 6-8 months<\/strong>, before hitting our main target of 3 mn monthly users,\u201d Atalla told us. \u201cWe plan to be disbursing up to EGP 3k to underbanked people \u2014 a figure we plan to talk to the FRA about increasing over time. We want to provide users with lending opportunities for their small businesses or for entrepreneurial ventures they may be working on,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Raseedi also plans on launching a B2B service<\/strong>, where it would partner with ride-hailing companies to provide drivers with instant payment against future rides that are paid for through credit cards, and to provide delivery workers with cash payments in advance \u2014 all of which would be up to EGP 3k to be paid back within a short term. \u201cThe goal is to conduct partnerships with big business with a lot of employees on the ground to give them the ability to be paid in advance for their endeavours,\u201d Atalla said, adding that Raseedi will begin working on those partnerships by the second half of the year. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Management changes will also follow:<\/strong> Raseedi will hire a managing director to lead Kashat. It will also be tapping personnel in the credit and risk management positions, Atalla said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What they said: <\/strong>\u201cThe ability to easily lend money to the masses will be expanded, and Raseedi along with Kashat, through its subsidiary Pharos Microfinance, will become Egypt\u2019s only financial service provider to offer nano loans at scale; and that was purpose built for the task. This deal is important because the companies involved are true big data and artificial intelligence players, and are both home-grown,,\u201d our friend Karim Nour, co-founder and CEO of Kashat, said in the statement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company plans to expand into Morocco within 12 months, CEO Ahmed Atalla told us<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":658623,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7363],"tags":[72,183,7128,595,3041],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-658622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ma-watch","tag-enterpriseam","tag-fintech","tag-ma-watch","tag-non-banking-financial-services","tag-raseedi","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"f68cc30a-fc86-4ad7-b528-04bc8b8de066","order":"6","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/1\/734.jpg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"Raseedi completes full acquisition of nanocredit outfit Kashat","related_issue":[658612],"teaser":"The company plans to expand into Morocco within 12 months, CEO Ahmed Atalla told us","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2025\/1\/.45560efc-44d5-49da-97b6-67dba1cd07f9.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
