"This funding round is a clear vote of confidence from our investors, reinforcing our commitment to delivering cutting-edge financial solutions to the underserved Egyptian market," said Mousa. "With this new capital, we are well-positioned to extend our reach, refine our product offerings, and move towards profitability."

This latest round of funding follows Lucky ONE's $25 million Series A round in 2022 and represents a significant milestone as the company gears up for further regional expansion over the next two years.
