Valu, MENA’s leading universal financial technology powerhouse, announced today that it has finalized its 14th securitized bond issuance, worth EGP 463.3 million, with EFG Hermes, an EFG Holding company and the leading Investment Bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The issuance is the fourth under the newly approved securitization program, which is worth a total of EGP 16.0 billion.

Accessing diversified funding avenues through securitization enables us to further scale our offerings, deliver cutting-edge solutions to our customers, and sustain our leadership position in the fintech space.”

Maie Hamdy, Managing Director – Debt Capital Markets at EFG Hermes, added, “Building on the momentum from last year, where we successfully closed Valu’s 8th to 13th securitizations, this first issuance of 2025 reaffirms our strong track record in executing complex transactions that cater to our clients’ evolving needs. Our continued collaboration with Valu underscores EFG Hermes’ leadership in structuring and delivering strategic financing solutions that support the rapid growth of Egypt’s fintech sector.”
