Cairo, Egypt — Valu, the MENA region’s leading universal financial technology powerhouse, announced today its financial and operational results for the first nine months of 2026 (9M26). Navigating an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop, Valu demonstrated remarkable agility and resilience by balancing operational expansion with strict risk discipline.
