Empowering SMEs with Embedded Financing Solutions

Founded in 2023 and already at $155 million in capital deployed to 100,000+ SMEs — those numbers represent one of the fastest ramps in MENA fintech history. Embedded SME lending is the unsexy but massive opportunity: small businesses are chronically underserved by banks, and data exhaust from platforms creates underwriting signals traditional lenders can't access.

The embedded model sidesteps customer acquisition cost by plugging into platforms where SMEs already transact. The risk is concentration — if lending volume depends on a handful of partners, losing one can crater origination overnight. At barely two years old, the real test is a credit cycle. Lending looks brilliant when the economy is growing.
