Swvl (SWVL) has launched a 24/7 shuttle service in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, connecting seven hotels with Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and key city sites, marking its entry into the Madinah market.
The service operates a dedicated shuttle network under an agreement with a client, using Swvl’s platform for fixed route planning, real-time dispatching and operational optimization to provide continuous, reliable access for hotel guests. The move aligns with Swvl’s strategy to grow within high-frequency, high-demand mobility verticals in KSA, particularly religious tourism, and follows earlier contract wins such as its July 2026 banking sector expansion with Bank Albilad.
Swvl (SWVL) secured a 110% increase in its HSBC working capital facility to $1.4 million and expanded its use of HSBC’s global payment solutions in Egypt.
The facility, originally established in November 2024 and anchored in Egypt, more than doubles Swvl’s available working capital capacity. Swvl plans to use the enlarged line to fund working capital cycles tied to new and renewing enterprise contracts across Egypt, the GCC, the United Kingdom and the United States, which the company believes will help convert its contracted pipeline into revenue faster.

Swvl is also deploying HSBC’s real-time global payment solutions to handle high-volume, time-critical disbursements, aiming to accelerate settlement cycles, improve straight-through processing, reduce operational complexity and enhance cash visibility.
