MNT-Halan Launches Egypt’s First Fully Digital Secured Lending Solution through the Halan App

Cairo, 24 September 2025:

MNT-Halan, Egypt and MENA region’s fastest-growing fintech platform, has launched the country’s first secured lending solution offered by a non-banking financial institution. The service allows customers to instantly access up to 80% of their investments in funds through a fully digital journey on the Halan App.

This milestone provides liquidity to customers without interrupting their investment growth. Through a complete end-to-end digital experience (eKYC) from onboarding and investing to credit limit activation, customers can unlock an instant credit limit of up to EGP 500,000 on their Halan Card while continuing to earn returns on their investments. The credit limit comes at significantly lower interest rates than traditional credit facilities.

Additional Benefits

Customers approved via the Halan App or at any Halan booth can enjoy zero interest and no fees on Halan Card transactions for up to 45 days.

CEO Comment

Mounir Nakhla, Founder and CEO of MNT-Halan, said:

“Many want to invest but hesitate because they’re unsure they can access their money when needed. This launch removes that barrier, allowing customers to grow investments and unlock instant digital credit when life demands it. It’s a simple solution reflecting our philosophy: real lives, real needs, real impact.”

The secured lending feature complements MNT-Halan’s broader investment offerings.
