“Can a COD-first logistics + upfront-payments hybrid become the financial rail for MENA e-commerce merchants shut out of traditional working capital?”
Founded 2020 by Omer Khan to solve the working-capital gap for Pakistani e-commerce merchants — 95% of transactions are cash-on-delivery and traditional couriers take 10-15 days to remit. PostEx pays merchants upfront on COD orders and layers revenue-based, Sharia-compliant financing on top. 2022 acquisition of Call Courier made it Pakistan's largest e-commerce logistics + fintech player; 2024-25 expansion into Saudi Arabia and UAE marks the shift from Pakistan-only fintech to regional MENA COD-fintech infrastructure.
PostEx processes payments through PostEx XPay Payment Gateway (self-operated) and PostEx Payment on Delivery (self-operated).
PostEx's lending and capital products are provided by PostEx Growth Capital (in-house) and PostEx PayLater (in-house).
