The story

Founded in 2019 as Saudi Arabia's first debt-based crowdlending platform specialising in government purchase order (PO) financing for SMEs. Operating initially within SAMA's FinTech Sandbox, it obtained its full SAMA licence in 2023. Partnered with Mambu in 2021 to power its core lending infrastructure with a SaaS banking engine. Expanded from direct PO financing into embedded B2B BNPL (Tameed AJEL) and e-invoicing, positioning itself as a broader SME trade finance platform underpinned by Islamic finance principles.
