Abu Dhabi, UAE –

Numou, the SME advancement platform operating under Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), has forged a strategic alliance with Abhi, a leading next-generation neo bank in the region. This partnership aims to revolutionize financial accessibility for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by integrating cutting-edge embedded finance and sophisticated working capital solutions within the Numou ecosystem.

SMEs utilizing Numou will benefit from expedited and more transparent access to liquidity under this partnership—effectively addressing the delays often experienced between invoicing and payment receipt. By leveraging Abhi's innovative digital lending and credit-assessment technologies, the platform enables quicker evaluations of creditworthiness alongside swift fund disbursement. This initiative is designed to assist SMEs in fulfilling operational demands, seizing new opportunities, and fostering growth without the burden of cash flow issues.

Mohamed Al Binali, General Manager of Numou, highlighted the importance of this collaboration:
“Teaming up with Abhi allows us to confront one of the most enduring challenges for SMEs—timely access to finance. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to cultivating a resilient, inclusive, and growth-oriented SME ecosystem in the UAE and surrounding region.”

Omair Ansari, Co-founder & CEO of Abhi, emphasized the unified vision shared between the two entities:
“At Abhi, we believe that access to capital should unlock opportunities rather than limit them. Our partnership with Numou signifies our shared commitment to empowering SMEs, the backbone of our regional economies. By seamlessly integrating our digital lending framework into Numou’s platform, we are redefining the way businesses access financial resources—making it quicker, more transparent, and inclusive. Collectively, we aspire to cultivate an environment where every entrepreneur can realize their complete potential.”

This joint venture reinforces both organizations' commitment to boosting SME competitiveness and contributing to a more vibrant economic landscape across the region.
