The acquisition transaction was announced on April 28, 2022 and was expected to close on May 24, 2022. All pre-completion obligations were met, but following financial market volatility, Swvl and Zeelo mutually agreed to terminate the planned transaction.

Zeelo taps into a developed markets opportunity to modernise shared mobility which is worth US$40 billion. The company currently transports over 150,000 riders each month, serving over 150 clients in the Corporate and Education space.
