Abhi Partners with Numou to Boost SME Access to Finance in UAE

Pakistani fintech Abhi has signed a strategic agreement with UAE-based SME platform Numou to enhance access to fast and flexible working capital for small and medium enterprises across the UAE and beyond. Numou, launched by Abu Dhabi Global Market in 2023, focuses on closing the SME financing gap using digital tools and data-driven credit evaluation.

Through this partnership, SMEs using Numou will be able to benefit from Abhi’s embedded lending infrastructure, enabling quicker credit assessments and immediate disbursement of funds — helping businesses manage cashflow gaps between invoice issuance and payment. Executives from both companies said the collaboration reinforces efforts to build a more inclusive SME ecosystem and support entrepreneurs driving regional economic growth.
