Cairo – Beltone Leasing and Factoring, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beltone Holding, has secured USD 20 million in funding from two leading impact investment funds managed by Germany-based Finance in Motion GmbH: the SANAD Fund for MSME and the Green for Growth Fund (GGF).
The funding is equally divided, with USD 10 million from each fund, with a repayment tenor of five years. SANAD’s contribution will support financial inclusion for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and low-income households across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). GGF’s portion will be dedicated to financing renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable resource use initiatives in MENA and neighboring regions.

It also reflects Beltone’s commitment to advancing sustainability across all its operations.
Amir Ghannam, Deputy Head of NBFIs for Leasing, Factoring, and Consumer Finance, said: “Securing foreign currency funding from institutions like SANAD and GGF enhances our ability to diversify our capital base and offer more competitive financing solutions. This funding will enable us to strengthen our support for MSMEs while accelerating green projects that contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.”
Sherif Hassan, Group Treasurer and Managing Director of Debt Capital Markets, said: “This funding reflects our strong collaboration with Finance in Motion and our commitment to channeling strategic capital to grow Beltone Leasing and Factoring.
