At WRK+, there is nothing we love more than watching our community members thrive and redefine their industries. Today, we are incredibly proud to celebrate Egypt-based fintech leader Lucky, a dynamic member of our community at Mall of Arabia, on their massive $23 million Series B funding round!

Operating right out of our Mall of Arabia workspace, Lucky is making incredible strides in Egypt’s expanding digital finance sector. This latest funding round, which combines both equity and debt, marks a major milestone in their journey to expand credit services and strengthen their regulatory footing.

The Series B Highlights

The impressive round drew support from heavy hitters in the investment and financial sectors:

Key Investors: Participation from Disruptech Ventures and DPI Venture Capital (through the Nclude fund), alongside strategic investors Suez Canal Bank and OneStop.

Leadership Updates: As part of the transaction, Mohamed Farouk, Chairman of OneStop, has been appointed as Chairman of Lucky’s board.

Stellar Growth: Lucky reported a massive threefold annual growth in 2025, successfully reaching profitability by the end of the year.

Building the Future of Digital Finance

With this $23 million injection, Lucky team is gearing up for their next big evolution. They plan to utilize the funding to scale their consumer credit offerings while heavily investing in infrastructure and regulatory readiness.

Supported by recent developments in digital onboarding and payments infrastructure overseen by the Central Bank of Egypt, Lucky has already begun preparations to obtain their Payment Service Provider (PSP) licensing. Their ultimate goal? Building a comprehensive neo-banking platform.

"Financial access is the foundation of progress. This round allows us to scale responsibly, invest in infrastructure, and deepen our impact as regulators unlock digital onboarding and modern payment frameworks across Egypt and the region." > — Ayman Essawy, CEO of Lucky

It is an absolute privilege to house such a forward-thinking, impactful team at The GrEEK Campus Mall of Arabia. We are thrilled to provide a workspace where groundbreaking companies like Lucky can collaborate, innovate, and ultimately reshape the financial landscape for consumers across the region.
