Riyadh-based fintech Orbii is quietly building the infrastructure that could reshape SME lending across the Middle East. The startup has closed a $3.6M seed round led by Prosus Ventures, with backing from VentureSouq, DASH Ventures, Taz Investments, and Sanabil 500 fueling its mission to modernize how small businesses access credit in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Instead of acting as a traditional lender, Orbii is building an AI-powered embedded credit layer. Its modular infrastructure plugs directly into ERPs, POS systems, and digital banking platforms, allowing banks and B2B platforms to offer instant SME loans in seconds, not weeks.

With a bold target to unlock $1B in SME financing by 2026, Orbii is tackling the region’s massive SME credit gap by using real-time financial data and machine learning models moving beyond outdated credit scores. By analyzing over 1,000 financial indicators, the platform enables smarter approvals, lower default rates, and brings previously “invisible” SMEs into the formal credit system.

Orbii’s growth reflects a bigger fintech shift in MENA: from flashy apps to core financial infrastructure—the plumbing that quietly powers the next generation of digital lending.
