Pakistan e-wallet banks $13m in seed funding - Tech in Asia

Last updated Thursday, February 24, 2022 01:38 ET

NayaPay, a Pakistan-based e-wallet, has raised US$13 million in a seed round led by Zayn Capital, with MSA Novo and Graph Ventures participating.
NayaPay is a fintech firm that aims to serve 5 million customers across Pakistan. It said out of 50 million unbanked adults in Pakistan, only 33% of adult women have bank accounts and 70% of the country’s population is under 35 years old – which it sees as a market opportunity.
The company was founded by Danish Lakhani in March 2019. It was the first recipient of an electronic money institution license by the State Bank of Pakistan.
The fintech firm is primarily targeting students and freelancers and is building a SaaS-based platform called NayaPay Arc that will offer universal payment acceptance and financial management tools for small and medium businesses.
