  • SECTOR: FINTECH

"We are enabling tenants to better manage their cashflows by paying in 12 payments with a credit/debit card, while ensuring that landlords receive the payment terms that they are used to (i.e. one to six payments), and that we enable them to re-invest in the UAE real estate ecosystem. Meanwhile, our rent-now-pay-later product reduces the upfront burden of rent payments for tenants, allowing them not to empty their savings, and aligning their rent dues to their incomes as well."
