MNT-Halan, Egypt’s leading fintech player, announced the acquisition of Talabeyah, a B2B ecommerce platform that offers FMCG supplies directly to small merchants, retailers, and soon, consumers, meeting all their requirements with next-day delivery.

As a result of this transaction, MNT-Halan will be disrupting the current multi-layered and fragmented FMCG supply chain model and empowering small merchants.

MNT-Halan’s digital ecosystem includes small business and consumer lending, payments, and e-commerce. Adding a digital FMCG offering to MNT-Halan’s merchant network greatly enhances the company’s breadth and scope and increases stickiness to its ecosystem.

MNT-Halan CEO, Mounir Nakhla, said, “The acquisition of Talabeyah is another step in our strategy of building a comprehensive digital ecosystem and is a perfect fit for our two companies. Talabeyah has developed an elaborate online catalogue, signed contracts with the largest FMCG suppliers, and demonstrated solid execution of its operations. MNT-Halan will enable Talabeyah to scale nationwide by providing access to hundreds of thousands of merchants and retailers, financing their customers’ purchases and backing the firm with our 120 tech engineers.”

Karim Nassef, CEO of Talabeyah, said, “We are happy to have finally reached the closing and are very much looking forward to growing our business nationwide. Teaming with MNT-Halan provides us with extensive talent and technological and financial power to allow us to rapidly scale our operations. We are thrilled to be part of MNT-Halan’s vision and are excited to expand cross border with them.”
