Founders & story · from Lean Technologies’s own dossier

Lean was founded in 2019 to be the 'Plaid for MENA' — building open banking data aggregation across Saudi Arabia and the UAE at a time when neither market had operational open banking frameworks. After the SAMA and CBUAE regulatory frameworks matured, Lean expanded from pure data aggregation into account-to-account payments (Pay by Bank) and payouts, becoming a dual-rail payments + data infrastructure provider. The Series B in 2024 funded the push to monetize payments rails alongside AISP data products.
