ABHI expands operations with UAE-based Al Ansari

KARACHI: ABHI Middle East Limited has announced its strategic partnership with UAE-based Al Ansari financial services to broaden the spectrum of financial solutions available to consumers, ensuring a seamless service experience across the board, a statement said on Monday.

Slated for rollout in the second quarter of 2025 (pending regulatory approvals), this strategic alliance will provide Earned Wage Access (EWA) and Send Now, Pay Later (SNPL) services to complement Al Ansari Financial Services’ existing portfolio, addressing the varied needs of both unbanked and underbanked communities in the UAE.

The solution will be gradually introduced across multiple platforms to ensure easy and convenient access for customers, allowing for a smooth integration and enhanced user experience of these innovative financial services.

ABHI, a pioneer in earned wage access and technology-driven financial solutions, will be providing a technology platform and operational framework that will enable Al Ansari Financial Services’ customers to access their earned wages prior to the scheduled payroll date in addition to allowing the unbanked and underbanked customers to remit funds internationally instantly while deferring payment. Al Ansari Financial Services will identify and onboard eligible customers for both services, maximizing its reach and impact in the community.

This partnership builds on an earlier collaboration announced by Al Ansari Financial Services with a leading fintech platform, to provide similar services. With its extensive customer base, Al Ansari Financial Services has strategically partnered with multiple leading platforms to ensure the efficiency and scalability of its innovative financial offerings. These partnerships underscore the Group’s commitment to leveraging its market presence to deliver cutting-edge financial solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
