Services will include earned compensation payouts, buy-now-pay-later offerings and insurance
Swvl Inc., a global provider of transformative tech-enabled mass transit solutions, and Paynas, a digital platform that provides integrated financial services, including payments and benefits solutions for companies to empower their contractors and other stakeholders, announced a strategic partnership. Paynas will provide Swvl drivers, also known as “captains,” with integrated financial services capabilities by issuing Visa-powered Paynas Cards, in partnership with Banque Misr, to the Company’s registered captain base and unlocking their access to the suite of financial and non-financial benefits offered through the Paynas platform, including earned compensation payouts, buy-now-pay-later services and insurance.
The partnership reflects both companies’ commitment to leveraging innovative technologies to enhance financial inclusion. The partnership is based on a revenue-sharing model through which Paynas and Swvl will share the revenues generated from the offered services. With Swvl’s large and growing captain base, the companies expect the partnership to have a significant social and economic impact by providing historically under-resourced individuals with opportunities to capitalize on a suite of financial and non-financial benefits that will further improve their standards of living.
