QashioThe Most Complete Spend Management Solution

UAE-born B2B fintech powering corporate cards and automated expense management across 22 countries with locally issued cards. First MENA spend platform to surpass AED 1B in transaction volume. Profitable.

FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Qashio achieved profitability with $1.2M in Q1 2025 profit before raising $19.8M in Series A — a rare sequence that signals genuine commercial traction. The company was the first spend management platform in MENA to surpass AED 1B in transaction volume, with locally issued cards across 22 countries.

The expansion pace is relentless: five offices in 12 months spanning Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Abu Dhabi, and a European HQ in Dublin housing 100+ staff. The Sanad Cash acquisition and Dubai Chambers partnership embedded Qashio deeper into the SME ecosystem. Dual revenue from transaction fees and SaaS subscriptions makes this a fundamentally different business than single-market card startups.
