Cascade clinched the Business Services – Finance & Accounting Solutions award at the P@SHA ICT Awards 2026.
Unikrew Solutions (Private) Limited was honored once more as one of Pakistan’s premier technology innovators, with its end‑to‑end digital financing platform, Cascade, taking home the top prize in the fintech category. The P@SHA ICT Awards, a benchmark for excellence in the country’s ICT sector, spotlighted Cascade’s ability to deliver a seamless, fully digital workflow for credit and payment services—a critical need for the nation’s burgeoning small‑and‑medium enterprise (SME) segment.
Cascade automates the entire financing cycle, from loan application and credit assessment to disbursement and repayment, eliminating the paperwork and delays that have long hampered SME growth in Pakistan. By integrating real‑time data analytics and secure payment gateways, the platform enables businesses to access working capital within hours rather than weeks, thereby improving cash flow and operational resilience.
Industry observers note that the award reflects a broader shift toward home‑grown fintech solutions that cater to the local market’s unique challenges. With SMEs accounting for roughly 40 % of Pakistan’s GDP and employing a majority of the workforce, tools like Cascade are poised to accelerate financial inclusion and support the government’s agenda of digitising the economy.
Unikrew’s leadership welcomed the recognition, emphasizing that the accolade validates their mission to simplify financing for Pakistani entrepreneurs. The company plans to expand Cascade’s feature set, targeting sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing, where access to affordable credit remains limited.
Looking ahead, the win positions Unikrew for greater investment interest and potential partnerships with banks and regulatory bodies. As the fintech ecosystem gains momentum, home‑grown platforms like Cascade could play a pivotal role in shaping a more inclusive and technologically advanced financial landscape across South Asia.
