Egyptian fintech Blnk has secured a combined $37.1 million funding package, marking another significant step in the company’s growth journey. The financing consists of $12.5 million in Series A equity funding and $24.6 million in local debt financing, according to the company’s announcement on June 8.

The equity round was led by Algebra Ventures and included participation from the SANAD Fund for MSME, Endeavor Catalyst, and Emirates International Investment Company (EIIC). The debt financing involved several Egyptian financial institutions, including Suez Canal Bank, Bank Albaraka, National Bank of Egypt, Corplease, Globalcorp, and BM Lease.

Building Consumer Credit at the Point of Sale

Founded in 2021, Blnk focuses on point-of-sale financing, allowing consumers to access credit directly when making purchases. Using AI-based risk analysis technology, the company enables customers to receive financing decisions within minutes and repay purchases over periods ranging from 6 to 36 months.

The model addresses a common challenge across many emerging markets: access to credit for consumers who may not have extensive banking histories. According to Blnk, 75% of its users were previously unbanked or underbanked, while more than 35% are women.

Growth Backed by Market Demand

Blnk reports that it has surpassed one million customers and built a loan portfolio exceeding one billion Egyptian pounds. The company also stated that it achieved profitability in 2025 while recording revenue growth of 173%.

Those figures come against the backdrop of a rapidly expanding consumer finance sector in Egypt. Data from the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) shows that the market reached 96.3 billion Egyptian pounds in 2025, representing year-on-year growth of 57.1%.

The combination of strong market growth and increasing demand for alternative credit solutions has created opportunities for fintech providers focused on underserved customer segments.

What’s Next for Blnk?

The newly raised capital will support several strategic initiatives. Blnk plans to strengthen its technology capabilities, expand its product portfolio, launch a credit card program, and explore opportunities beyond the Egyptian market.

The move suggests the company is looking to evolve from a single-product financing provider into a broader consumer financial services platform while continuing to build on its position in Egypt’s growing fintech ecosystem.
