UAE-based fintech Omnispay has secured $2 million in a pre-Series A funding round, led by Infinity Value Capital Group, as it looks to grow beyond fast settlement services and become a broader financing platform for small and medium-sized businesses.

The plan, according to details shared around the deal, is to shift from simply helping merchants get paid quicker into something more ambitious. Omnispay wants to support SMEs with day-to-day cash flow management and offer embedded finance tools that combine collections, payments and lending in one place. That kind of all-in-one approach can save founders a lot of back-and-forth — and frankly, in this region, anything that removes friction is spot on.

I’ve lost count of how many early-stage founders I’ve met through Arageek who complained that managing payments and access to credit felt like a bit of a faff. So seeing a local fintech tackle this head-on feels relivent, well… at least to anyone who’s been in those shoes. That said, I reckon execution will be everything here, especially with competition heating up across MENA fintech.

One interesting detail is Omnispay’s in-house AI-powered risk engine, known as ARIES. The system monitors transactions in real time and helps control risk as activity happens, not weeks later. The company says it has achieved a net promoter score of over 60, which — if sustained — suggests customers are more than just mildly satisfied. Many startups talk big about AI, but this sounds like technology that’s actually plugged into daily operations, which I’m quietly chuffed to bits about.

On the expansion front, Omnispay is setting its sights on the wider GCC, with Saudi Arabia clearly on the radar. Building partnerships across distribution and lending is part of that push, and believe it or not, that partner-led strategy is often what makes or breaks regional scale here.

On the flip side, entering Saudi is no walk in the park, even with fresh capital. Still, for a fintech that’s rethinking how SMEs access finance — and doing it with local context rather than copy-paste models — this round could mark an important next chapter.
