By Vriti Gothi

FAB Group’s subsidiary, Lime Consumer Finance, an education financing company, has commenced operations within Egypt’s rapidly expanding FinTech ecosystem.

Licensed by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), Lime’s market entry underscores its commitment to accelerating financial inclusion through innovative, customer-centric solutions, with education chosen as its first strategic sector.

Purpose-built to address the growing demand for accessible and structured financing, Lime’s fully digital platform enables families across Egypt to seamlessly plan and pay for education through an integrated network of nurseries, schools, and universities. The app offers flexible instalment plans ranging from six to twelve months for amounts up to EGP 1 million, with simple digital onboarding and instant financing approvals delivering convenience, speed, and regulatory transparency.

Ahmed Mohsen, CEO and Managing Director of Lime Consumer Finance, said, “With an initial investment of $9.4 million, Lime enters the market at a time when Egypt is witnessing a parallel surge in private education demand and digital financial inclusion fueled by a young population and supportive national policies.”

As part of the First Abu Dhabi Bank Group, Lime leverages deep industry expertise and robust governance, positioning itself to drive sustainable growth and expand financial empowerment to more Egyptian families. Looking ahead, the company plans to broaden its digital offering into additional life-enhancing sectors, reinforcing its long-term vision to advance financial wellbeing and inclusion across the country.
