Orbii, a Saudi-based platform that provides embedded credit infrastructure, has raised $3.6 million in seed funding.
The round was led by Prosus Ventures and also saw participation from VentureSouq, DASH Ventures, Taz Investments, and Sanabil 500.
Founded in 2024, Orbii is changing the way credit is created and delivered across the MENA region.
Its AI-powered platform helps banks, fintechs, and B2B marketplaces launch SME lending products more quickly and efficiently by connecting directly with banks’ systems, fintech platforms, POS networks, and ERP solutions.
Instead of depending on slow and traditional methods, Orbii uses machine learning models that can analyze data in real time.
This makes credit decisions faster and more accurate, while also increasing approval rates and lowering the chances of defaults.
With this new funding, Orbii plans to expand its operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE and strengthen its engineering and data science teams.
The company also aims to unlock $1 billion in SME financing by 2026.
“At Orbii, we believe SMEs are the backbone of MENA’s economy, yet they remain underserved when it comes to credit,” said CEO Nauman Ali. “Our mission is to make SME lending seamless and intelligent, helping financial institutions and platforms empower business growth.”
