Valu, Egypt’s leading universal financial technology powerhouse, announced today its first full-year results as a listed company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, underscoring the strength, scalability, and increasing diversification of its platform. The company reported record gross revenues of EGP 5.6 billion, up 71% Year-over-Year (Y-o-Y), while net income reached EGP 764 million, up 81% from the prior year. Gross merchandise value (GMV) expanded 50% Y-o-Y to EGP 24.5 billion, supported by strong demand across its diversified product suite, and total transactions increased 113% to 8.7 million over the year. Valu maintained a 23% market share and a resilient Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio of 0.98%, reinforcing its competitive leadership in Egypt’s fintech landscape.
Operationally, Valu sustained healthy expansion across all core metrics. Average daily GMV rose 48% to EGP 67.1 million, while average daily transactions reached nearly 24 thousand, representing a 113% Y-o-Y increase. Transaction frequency per customer climbed 82% to 16.6x, reflecting a growing reliance on Valu as a preferred lifestyle-enabling payment solution. This momentum is anchored by Valu’s prudent risk management framework and disciplined underwriting standards, which have enabled rapid scale-up while maintaining high portfolio quality.
Valu’s product ecosystem continued to scale, with significant contributions from the Prepaid Card, which emerged as a primary driver of engagement, with GMV increasing 179% Y-o-Y to EGP 5.16 billion. Shift (auto financing) demonstrated strong growth with GMV up 78% to EGP 3.32 billion, while Ulter & Loans for premium purchases saw GMV rise 190% to EGP 1.35 billion. During the year, Valu successfully launched Shop’IT, a fully integrated marketplace within its app, and introduced digitized instant approvals for ‘big ticket’ lending, further transforming the platform into a comprehensive one-stop lifestyle financing solution.
Walid Hassouna, CEO of Valu, commented: “FY25 is a defining chapter for Valu, not just as our first full year in the public markets, but as proof that our model scales profitably. We have grown our base steadily year-over-year, positioning us perfectly on track to cross the 1-million customer mark, while simultaneously broadening our platform into new verticals and laying the groundwork for regional expansion and SME penetration. Our proprietary credit rule engine gives us a structural edge, it allows us to move fast, price risk intelligently, and deepen engagement in ways traditional lenders simply cannot. This is no longer just a BNPL story. Valu is becoming the region’s leading integrated lifestyle finance platform, and we are only getting started.”
Throughout the year, Valu achieved several critical strategic milestones. The company secured final approval from the Central Bank of Jordan to launch regional operations and submitted for an SME license to empower its merchant network with data-driven credit solutions. Additionally, Valu launched a fully digital onboarding feature on noon, marking the first licensed BNPL transaction in Egypt conducted via digital onboarding under the FRA’s FinTech license.
