Lime

Lime is a consumer finance platform in Egypt that helps families and individuals apply for education financing for nurseries, schools, and universities through a digital, app-based journey.

Key capabilities include:

• In-app financing application: users search for “Lime Finance”, select a partner school, university, or nursery, then apply for the amount needed using an Egyptian National ID.
• Approval in minutes: the application is reviewed digitally and can return a decision within minutes, based on the product’s published journey.
• Flexible installment plans: supports structured repayments (press coverage cited ranges such as 6 to 12 months and amounts up to EGP 1 million, where eligible).
• Loan calculator on the website: simulates finance amounts and repayment plans with a focus on transparent costs and no hidden fees.

Available on Web (lime.com.eg), Android (Google Play), and iOS (Apple App Store). Support is available via the website and phone at 17317.

It is built for B2C users in Egypt, especially parents and students managing education fees, and it also positions itself to expand into broader consumer lifestyle financing.

Notable in the Egyptian market, the service is licensed by Egypt’s Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA), operates as Lime Consumer Finance SAE, and is described as a dedicated education financing platform with a network of partner institutions.
