KARACHI, PAKISTAN [5th November 2024]<\/strong> \u2014 Neem<\/a>,\u00a0 a leading embedded finance platform in Pakistan, has secured an additional $4 million credit facility from DNI group<\/a>, a global investment firm operating in 32 countries and an existing partner\/investor in Neem, to expand Neem Paymenow, its earned wage access solution, across Pakistan.
