Press release:

Orbii, the Saudi-based embedded credit infrastructure platform, has raised $3.6 million in a seed funding round led by Prosus Ventures, with participation from VentureSouq, DASH Ventures, Taz Investments, and Sanabil 500.

Founded in 2024, Orbii is redefining how credit is built and delivered across the MENA region. Its AI-powered platform enables banks, fintechs, and B2B marketplaces to launch SME lending products faster and smarter, integrating directly with banks’ systems, fintech platforms, POS networks, and ERP solutions.

Instead of relying on slow, traditional processes, Orbii replaces them with machine learning models capable of analysing data in real time—enabling faster, more accurate credit decisions, boosting approval rates, and reducing defaults.

With this fresh capital, Orbii plans to expand its presence in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, strengthen its engineering and data science teams, and support its mission 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’s Name, if available]. "Our mission is to make SME lending seamless and intelligent, helping financial institutions and platforms empower business growth."
