Embed Financial Group Cayman Holdings (EFGH), a Singapore-headquartered Finternet infrastructure firm operating across emerging markets in Africa and Asia, today announced that it has entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (BCA) with WinVest, a publicly listed special purpose acquisition company.
The proposed transaction values EFGH at a pro forma enterprise value of approximately US$425 million.
Upon completion of the business combination, WinVest Holdings, a newly formed Cayman Islands holding entity that is expected to be renamed Embed Financial Global Holdings (Pubco), will become the parent company of the combined organisation.
EFGH develops digital infrastructure for the emerging “Finternet”, enabling embedded financial services including insurance, remittances, credit and digital wallets for underserved consumers and SMEs.
The Company designs and deploys platforms that link government agencies, telecommunications operators, financial institutions and SMEs to more efficient and accessible financial rails.
Since its establishment in 2024, EFGH has expanded into eight African and four Asian markets, supported by collaborations with government bodies and enterprise partners.
“We are excited to mark this major milestone for EFGH,”
said Dennis Ng, Founder, Executive Chairman and Group Chief Executive Officer of EFGH.
“A Nasdaq listing will accelerate our mission to build the Finternet for underserved consumers and SMEs across Africa and Asia.”
Manish Jhunjhunwala, Chief Executive Officer of WinVest, added:
“EFGH’s work to broaden access to the Finternet is inspiring and aligns with our mission. We’re delighted to partner with them on this transaction.”
