## Overview

PayDay Takaful is a B2B2C fintech-insurtech platform providing embedded salary advance and Takaful micro-insurance solutions to employers across North Africa and the Middle East. The company operates at the intersection of Islamic finance and employee financial wellness, enabling employers to offer payroll-linked financial services to their workforce.

The platform bundles interest-free salary advances with cooperative-style micro-insurance (Takaful) coverage in a single digital interface. Employees can access advances against earned wages without credit checks or collateral, with repayment processed via payroll deduction. Bundled Takaful coverage provides income protection, health, and emergency benefits aligned with Shariah principles. Employers manage both programs through a centralized dashboard, and the solution integrates with existing HR and payroll systems.

Since its 2024 launch, the platform has processed over 10,000 transactions totaling more than TND 8.2M. The company raised a USD 3M pre-seed round in October 2025 led by United Gulf Financial Services North Africa, with participation from TALYS Group and BioProtection SA. A strategic partnership with BG Titan was announced in March 2025 to deliver embedded payroll solutions to enterprise customers.
