DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 24, 2022, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
- Optasia Founder and Chairman, Bassim Haidar announces the company with a
remarkable 10+ years track record plans to grow its global position with
emphasis on emerging markets
- The fintech pioneer currently provides financial access to over 560mn
customers globally, with over 88m active customers performing financial
transactions of over $8m daily through Optasia, its data-driven AI platform
Multinational fintech company Channel VAS announced its rebranding to Optasia
as it looks to further grow its global position, with emphasis in the emerging
markets. Optasia core service is a fully integrated, versatile AI platform
covering scoring, financial decisioning, disbursement & collection. The
rebranding marks Channel VAS' business evolution after over 10 years of
operation.
State-of-the-art AI platform Optasia offers its partners, both top tier Mobile
Network Operators and financial institutions a better-informed decision process
on credit scoring, opening up massive untapped opportunities and providing a
full range of financial products and services to their ecosystem, including
consumer and enterprise finance solutions, credit scoring, data science as a
service and platform as a service.
Optasia is a game-changer for the fintech/mobile finance revolution taking
place in the emerging markets, supporting local banks in their digital
transformation to provide financing to their dynamically growing economies in a
risk-free way.
Through proprietary AI, Optasia processes and analyzes unstructured behavioural
data, creating unique profiles of customers which can be used by financial
institutions and MNOs to tailor products and services to their client base.
Without this technology, these organizations wouldn't be able to gather the
necessary information to make safe decisions on creditworthiness.
Optasia has an established track record of over 10 years' experience in leading
the fintech evolution in emerging markets across Africa, Asia and the Middle
East, providing credit decisions for over USD 8 million in daily transactions.
It services an addressable base of 560 million mobile subscribers in over 30
countries.
Commenting on the rebranding, Bassim Haidar, Optasia Founder and Chairman
stated: "Optasia uses state of the art technology to enable financial access to
the next billion customers across the global emerging markets. Technological
and financial empowerment that data science brings in the regions where
economic boost is most needed, is paramount to their future development".
"Globally, 1.7 billion adults are underbanked - without an account at a
financial institution or through a mobile money provider. Although the figure
has been systematically decreasing, it still accounts for an enormous gap.
Optasia plans to spearhead this financial inclusion in the next few years" Mr.
Haidar concluded.
Financially headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Optasia operations are located in
Athens, Greece. The company developed a tech excellence center in Egypt and has
offices and subsidiaries in various countries across the world, including South
Africa, Nigeria, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The fintech had been chosen as a prime investment opportunity by top investment
firms like Abu Dhabi's Waha Capital in 2017, Ethos, a South African investment
company in 2018 and DPI equity firm in 2019.
