“Can an ADGM-licensed embedded lender become the default working-capital-finance layer for SMEs across UAE platforms by embedding credit directly into POS, e-commerce, and B2B software ecosystems?”
Founded in 2023 in Abu Dhabi, CredibleX entered the UAE SME financing market with an embedded Credit-as-a-Service model, targeting the chronic working capital gap for small businesses. Rather than lending directly, it embeds financing into partner platforms — POS providers, e-commerce platforms, and B2B marketplaces — using transaction data for near-instant underwriting. The company scaled rapidly via a $55M seed in late 2024, a $100M debt facility in 2025, and a $15M Series A in 2026, building a distribution network of 70+ partners including Mastercard and Network International.
CredibleX is founded in 2023 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
CredibleX has raised $170M+ in total (latest round: Series A, 2026).
