Introduction
The final signing ceremony between ABHI, TPL Corp Limited, and FINCA Pakistan took place in the presence of prominent leaders and key stakeholders, including Omair Ansari, CEO of ABHI; Ali Jameel, CEO of TPL Corp Limited; and Jeffery Smith, Vice President—Chief Administrative Officer of FINCA. This strategic partnership marks a major milestone in expanding access to innovative financial solutions and accelerating financial inclusion across Pakistan.
Four years ago, two visionaries set out to make financial access in Pakistan a right, not a privilege. This vision led to the birth of ABHI in 2021, a fintech dedicated to improving financial wellness. Initially addressing the urgent need for Earned Wage Access (EWA), ABHI has since evolved into a comprehensive financial services provider, offering payroll solutions, SME financing, and digital banking products.
Driven by the combined expertise of a seasoned Pakistani financial leader and a global financial inclusion expert, ABHI has reshaped access to financial services for millions. The company’s impact now extends beyond Pakistan into the UAE and KSA, solidifying its position as a fintech pioneer in the region.
