The investment aims to support the company\u2019s mission of enhancing financial inclusion by digitising traditional savings, lending, and investment practices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"948\">The round was co-led by Al Mada Ventures (AMV) and DPI Venture Capital through the Nclude Fund, with further participation from Partech and CommerzVentures. All investors are focused on fostering innovation across emerging markets, and this latest injection of capital will help Money Fellows upgrade its digital platform and expand to new regions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"600\" data-end=\"948\">\u201cMoney Fellows is a critical player in Africa\u2019s financial ecosystem, combining the power of community-based savings with cutting-edge FinTech to create a seamless and scalable solution,\u201d said <strong>Ahmed Wadi<\/strong>, <strong>Founder and CEO of Money Fellows<\/strong>. \u201cThis investment is a testament to the potential we have to further our mission of empowering individuals, especially in underserved regions, to save, invest, and access credit in a cost-effective and impactful way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"1249\">With over 8.5 million users and more than 350 local and regional partners, Money Fellows has proliferated since its founding in 2017 by Ahmed Wadi.

The firm\u2019s platform offers a secure, efficient way to modernise community-based finance models and make formal financial services more accessible to underserved populations. The funding marks another milestone in the company\u2019s journey to transform the way millions of Africans save, borrow, and invest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35737,"featured_media":566008,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[11387,11370],"tags":[12849,49901,49900,19504,12239,49902,12421,12472,11515,28958,12498,49903,31560,31209,14432,23284],"class_list":["post-568136","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investment-management","category-wealth-management-and-private-banking","tag-africa","tag-al-mada-ventures","tag-amv","tag-commerzventures","tag-consumer-finance","tag-dpi-venture-capital","tag-egypt","tag-financial-inclusion","tag-fintech","tag-fintech-funding","tag-investment-management","tag-money-circles","tag-money-fellows","tag-nclude-fund","tag-partech","tag-savings-app"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v24.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Money Fellows raises $13m to expand savings platform in Africa<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Money Fellows has raised $13 million in a strategic funding round, bringing its total funding to over $60 million since inception.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibsintelligence.com\/ibsi-news\/money-fellows-raises-13m-to-expand-savings-platform-in-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Money Fellows raises $13m to expand savings platform in Africa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"IBS Intelligence (IBSi) is the world\u2019s only pure-play Financial Technology focused research, advisory, and fintech news analysis firm, with a 30-year track record and clients globally.
