Our Story
The Name
Our name is inspired by the Latin word for “mint”.
- The universally loved herb “mint” connotes freshness, new beginnings and growth. Isn’t that what life’s all about? Hope. Beginnings. Growth.
- “Mint” also connotes money. It’s the place where money is manufactured (by the central banks).
The two meanings come together to define Menthum’s “A Fresh Way to Money”.
The Brand
Rather than being a noun (denoting a thing), we see “money” as a verb (denoting an action). So, take “… to Money” in our motto as you take “…to work”, “… to grow”, “… to dream”.
We believe there’s more to life than money. Yet money plays a key role in adding more to life. More joy, more success, more excitement… In the same spirit, Menthum is devised to add more to your life.
We wish Menthum to stand for all that makes life beautiful: dreams, hopes, hard work, ambition, success ….
The Beginning
The idea of Menthum is inspired by us ourselves feeling the need for a better way to money. Having worked in banking & finance for a considerable time, we realized that there are ways to make our money work harder for us. And we devised Menthum. For us and for you.
Menthum is started and managed by people like you. Professionals who believe in dreaming and working hard to achieve the dreams.
Thanks for your interest in Menthum: A Fresh Way to Money.

Happy Menthum Users
Ahmed Hashem
"Menthum brought a product that is very much needed by myself personally and the market. Managing your immediate finances through current and saving accounts is very inefficient because banks exploit your need for liquidity by keeping the rates they offer their customers very low. Menthum breaks that cycle and brings you at par with what you should be earning on your liquid cash regardless of the time. The process of adding and withdrawing money is very smooth and super timely. I really hope that product develops into something that would make it my primary liquidity pot."

"I am super proud to be one of the first users of Menthum. I have been making incredible returns since August 2022. I really
appreciated the value proposition of instant liquidity while making a return that's almost equivalent to the 3-year certicates
of 16% without having to block my money. Sending money to my friends is easy with the P2P transfers instantly on the app while
they get to earn interest from Day 1. It is a no-brainer digital savings solution that I recommend to anyone."
