AMAN Group announces its prominent business magnitude and future plans for the non-banking sector during the current fiscal year, where it plans to launch new financial products and develop the way existing ones are introduced with the aim of improving user-experience and bolstering the unbanked. AMAN Group also announced a fourth subsidiary to join the other three this year and further boost their integration named: ‘AMAN Securitization’, reinforcing Egypt ‘Vision 2030’ towards financial inclusion and digital transformation.
During a press conference AMAN Group held on Tuesday, the Group announced the expansion in two new financial sectors: nano-finance, with a EGP 3k credit limit to support marginalized communities; and Islamic finance, which acquires a great customer share locally.
This step is driven by AMAN’s commitment towards addressing customer needs from all segments and the gap in providing financial services in general, especially for the hard-to-reach segments that banks do not usually address. Moreover, this unwavering commitment is an essential part of AMAN’s strategy to achieve financial inclusion by making financial services available for everyone.
Hazem Moghazy, CEO of AMAN Financial Services, stated: “AMAN Group is committed to provide an inclusive platform for all financial services––from e-payment and financing to savings for all customer segments. Likewise, we are consistently developing and investing in our services to support financial inclusion and the non-banking sector, where we aim in the upcoming stage to raise awareness towards the integrated services supported by AMAN subsidiaries by launching extensive brand awareness campaigns.
In addition, we have recently invested EGP 240 million to raise our capital reaching a total capital of EGP 615 million reinforcing our local market penetration to achieve a better customer reach.
