Valu, the leading universal financial technology powerhouse in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and noon Minutes, noon’s quick-commerce platform, announced today a strategic partnership in Egypt, with Valu becoming noon Minutes’ exclusive financial payments provider and first payment partner. The collaboration combines Valu’s flexible payment solutions with noon Minutes’ fast, convenient shopping experience, giving customers greater payment flexibility when shopping for everyday essentials, groceries, household needs, and higher-value purchases.
