Orbii, a fintech startup based in Saudi Arabia, 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 by Nauman Ali, Guillaume Kieffer, and Nasara Mughal, Orbii provides AI-powered embedded credit infrastructure that allows banks, fintech companies, and B2B platforms to launch SME lending products efficiently. The technology integrates directly with existing systems - from banks and point-of-sale networks to ERP tools - enabling real-time, machine learning–based credit assessments. This approach reduces manual processing, boosts approval rates, and lowers default risks.
Orbii plans to deploy the new capital to expand operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, enhance its engineering and data science teams, and drive its goal to unlock $1 billion in SME financing by 2026.
