Mobilink Bank Moves to Acquire Majority Stake in Apna Microfinance Bank

November 13, 2026 • 16 minutes ago •

ISLAMABAD: Mobilink Bank, one of Pakistan’s leading microfinance institutions, has signed a Sale Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire an 82.51% stake in Apna Microfinance Bank Limited. This strategic move is subject to necessary legal and regulatory approvals, marking a significant step in Mobilink Bank’s commitment to its ‘Growth with Purpose’ strategy.

The acquisition aims to enhance Mobilink Bank’s portfolio and expand its reach in the microfinance sector. An official spokesperson stated, “This acquisition reflects our dedication to responsible growth and our mission to provide accessible financial services to underserved communities across Pakistan.” The deal is expected to bolster Mobilink Bank’s position in the competitive microfinance landscape.

This acquisition could have far-reaching implications for the microfinance sector in Pakistan, potentially leading to increased competition and improved services for consumers. Analysts suggest that the merger may enhance financial inclusion efforts, particularly in rural areas where access to banking services remains limited.

As the transaction awaits regulatory approval, stakeholders are keenly observing the developments. Mobilink Bank plans to integrate Apna Bank’s operations seamlessly, with further announcements expected in the coming months regarding the implementation of their combined strategies.
