Magnati has partnered with Wio Bank to provide embedded finance solutions through an innovative merchant financing platform. This collaboration supports the UAE’s ambitions for economic growth by enabling businesses across the country to access faster credit, helping them grow and thrive in a competitive market.
Magnati’s platform integrates real-time Point of Sale (POS) payment data to offer financial solutions to merchants. Businesses can access credit facilities through the Wio Business digital banking platform, and benefit from the platform’s range of services, including business loans, invoice financing, equipment financing, POS financing, receivables financing, and insurance—all tailored to support SMEs and larger enterprises.
Wio Business, the bank’s first digital banking application, caters to businesses of all sizes from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to larger corporates and freelancers. This partnership enables Wio Bank to expand access to support business growth by providing fast access to financing using Magnati’s platform, simplifying cash flow management and credit access. Loan EMIs are automatically deducted from daily payouts, streamlining the repayment process for merchants.
As the financial partner, Wio Bank utilizes proactive decision-making insights from the platform to assess the performance and financial health of businesses, enabling accurate and timely lending decisions. This approach allows businesses to access finance that fits their needs while supporting their long-term growth.
Jayesh Patel, CEO of Wio Bank PJSC, said: “Our collaboration with Magnati addresses a key challenge for businesses—quick and easy access to finance. We are simplifying the process for businesses to obtain credit and manage their finances, allowing them to focus on growth. This partnership aligns with our goal to foster growth for business of all sizes and drive entrepreneurship to support the ecosystem in the UAE.”
