Al Ansari Financial Services has partnered with Abhi Middle East Limited to broaden the spectrum of financial solutions available to consumers, ensuring a seamless service experience across the board.

This strategic partnership will introduce Earned Wage Access (EWA) and Send Now, Pay Later (SNPL) services in the second quarter of 2025 (pending regulatory approvals), expanding Al Ansari Financial Services’ offerings and addressing the diverse needs of 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.

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.
