Points clés à retenir
MaxAB-Wasoko’s acquisition of Fatura underscores the growing momentum behind integrated retail-fintech platforms in Africa. The combined entity now operates across Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Rwanda, and Tanzania, and finances over 9% of e-commerce sales in Egypt and Morocco through its embedded credit solutions. Fatura’s asset-light model complements MaxAB’s end-to-end supply chain infrastructure—from procurement to last-mile delivery—bringing more suppliers onto the platform and enhancing efficiency for small and mid-sized retailers. EFG Finance’s strategic stake signals confidence in MaxAB-Wasoko’s long-term potential to lead the B2B and fintech markets across the continent. With EFG Holding’s support and MaxAB-Wasoko’s reach, the new structure aims to offer retailers broader product access, faster credit, and digital tools that support inventory growth and operational resilience. This move positions MaxAB-Wasoko as one of the few tech players offering a unified commerce and financing solution at scale, poised to shape the future of African retail.
