Wilzy to Launch at EGP1.6B Valuation to Transform How Egyptians Invest

The Egyptian fintech landscape has reached a pivotal inflection point, moving beyond the initial wave of digital payments and wallet services into the more sophisticated realm of democratised wealth management. As part of this rapid evolution, Wilzy, a modern financial services platform, is set to launch with strategic backing from Act Financial at a valuation of approximately EGP 1.6 billion - a significant seed valuation that signals confidence in Wilzy’s potential to transform how Egyptians interact with and grow their capital.

Unlike the fragmented tools of the past, which often left users feeling hesitant and overwhelmed by market volatility, Wilzy will enter the market as a comprehensive ecosystem built on the philosophy that wealth management should be as intuitive as it is secure. Its upcoming launch is particularly significant given the pedigree of the leadership. The platform is co-founded by a powerhouse team from Act Financial, including CEO Bassem Azzab, and Managing Partners Mostafa Abdelaziz and Karim Nehama. Adding to this depth is board member Ahmed El Ghandour, whose involvement brings a unique level of visibility to a team already boasting over 25 years of combined expertise.

The arrival of Wilzy signifies a proactive shift toward a more humanised fintech experience, where smart technology does not replace expert insight, but rather amplifies it. The app is built on three core pillars - Learn, Plan, and Invest - which guide the user through a logical progression toward financial wellness. The learning component is designed to dismantle the jargon that has long kept the average person away from sophisticated investing, offering engaging, snackable content. This transitions into a planning phase, where users can see their full financial position through integrated net-worth tracking. The final pillar of investment offers curated, guided solutions that prevent the common paralysis of choice, using a combination of AI-powered insights and seasoned human strategy.

Security serves as the foundation of the new venture - a non-negotiable element for a platform aiming to build long-term trust. Wilzy is fully licensed and regulated by the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), providing institutional-grade security and investor protection, a key differentiator within Egypt’s financial ecosystem. This regulatory oversight is particularly critical for its primary audience: professionals aged 25 to 45 who are keen to take control of their finances but require a legitimate, stable environment to grow their assets.

Ultimately, Wilzy stands apart from the transactional app crowd by focusing on the user’s entire financial journey rather than singular, isolated trades. By breaking down traditional gatekeeping and replacing it with transparent guidance, Wilzy is seeking to foster a new generation of confident, informed users who feel supported throughout every stage of their financial lives.
