Mobilink Microfinance Bank is part of the VEON group, a global digital operator that provides converged connectivity and online services across seven countries. As part of its digital operator strategy, VEON is transforming people’s lives, creating opportunities for greater digital inclusion, and driving economic growth across countries that are home to more than 8% of the world’s population.

The partnership is focused on fueling the growth of MMBL’s 40 million customers, especially SMEs.

Under this partnership, MMBL will be able to meet the growing banking needs of its individual as well as enterprise customers by improving their access to flexible financing alternatives, including B2B lending and account opening amongst other valuable services.

Leveraging Quwat’s strong retail financial network, MMBL will also extend end-to-end support for SMEs to expand their businesses. To be more responsive to the evolving needs of its growing customer base, MMBL through Quwat’s lite-branch concept will be able to bring more unbanked individuals under the financial fold.
