The startup was founded in 2016 thanks to generous investors who offered USD 29 million to the company. Now, Nana cooperates with all major grocery chains and pharmacies (including Carrefour and Spar) and delivers to any place within supported cities (there are 14 of them now, but the company promises to cover as much of the country as possible very soon). What makes the app special is the super-approachable technical support which users can access 24\/7 and an option of scheduling deliveries precisely and have them whenever you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nana is proudly developed by a team of young Saudi entrepreneurs and employs a whole network of delivery specialists who personally pick high quality groceries for the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana.png\" alt=\"fintech companies in middle east - Nana\" class=\"wp-image-24211\" width=\"400\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana.png 1600w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-1024x612.png 1024w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-768x459.png 768w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-1536x919.png 1536w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-349x209.png 349w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-167x100.png 167w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-720x431.png 720w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-864x517.png 864w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nana-432x258.png 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nymcard\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nymcard.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">NymCard<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Country: <\/strong>United Arab Emirates and Lebanon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service type: <\/strong>payment processing and card issuing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a pretty fresh startup, NymCard is definitely a company worth watching in 2021. It was created during the pinnacle of the MENA banks modernization wave as a solution that makes distributing and controlling cards (both physical and digital ones) as smooth as possible. The whole system operates in the cloud and uses a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/api-development\/\">open APIs<\/a> to automate processes and make them perfectly secure (3D Secure authentication).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is NymCard a go-to solution for payments and card distribution in the MENA region, though? The company\u2019s solution works in an <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/end-to-end-development\/\">end-to-end model<\/a>, taking care of all security related problems (<a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/fight-against-anti-money-laundering-aml\/\">fraud prevention<\/a>, permissions, reconciliation, data protection) in the background. It also allows the clients to operate a fully compliant product without actually having to take care of the compliance issues, as it\u2019s all done on the NymCard\u2019s side. Obviously, to achieve this all the company cooperates with major banks and even Visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"fintech companies in middle east - Nym Carr\" class=\"wp-image-24212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard-297x209.jpg 297w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard-142x100.jpg 142w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard-432x304.jpg 432w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/nymcard.jpg 687w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tabby\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tabby.ai\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Tabby<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Country: <\/strong>United Arab Emirates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service type: <\/strong>buy-now-pay-later<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as NymCard, Tabby is a freshly founded, yet quickly growing company (founded in 2019). Its main goal is to offer the buyers easy access to products in difficult financial times. How does it work? When buying online, you just choose Tabby on the checkout screen of a partnered-up store and decide whether you want to pay later or pay in installments (no interest charged). You can do the same while purchasing in-store. Just generate a QR code in the Tabby app and show it to the cashier &#8211; it\u2019s dead simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the service would be pointless if it didn\u2019t offer a wide range of stores and ecommerces to choose from. Fortunately, there are literally hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/tabby.ai\/#where-to-shop\" rel=\"nofollow\">companies that accept Tabby<\/a>, so Arabian customers are free to use it whenever they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby.png\" alt=\"fintech companies in middle east - Tabby\n\" class=\"wp-image-24213\" width=\"201\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby.png 804w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-151x300.png 151w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-515x1024.png 515w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-768x1528.png 768w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-772x1536.png 772w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-105x209.png 105w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-50x100.png 50w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-352x700.png 352w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/tabby-432x860.png 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 201px) 100vw, 201px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mamo-pay\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mamopay.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mamo Pay<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Country: <\/strong>United Arab Emirates<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service type: <\/strong>P2P payments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending money to another person has never been easier in the Emirates.

Imagine you\u2019re a local farmer and you\u2019d like to supply your produce to an exclusive hotel. How can you reach such a client? The simplest way seems to be partnering up with a middle man. But it always reduces your revenues. Thanks to a marketplace, such as Sary, the clients can notice you and buy directly from you. The app is essentially a smart wholesale trade marketplace which makes the lives of the suppliers better and gives the clients easy access to a huge catalogue of goods at great prices. The platform also supports a number of payment options, such as cash-on-delivery, card payments and e-bill through Sadad (paperless transactions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary.png\" alt=\"fintech companies in middle east - Sary\" class=\"wp-image-24215\" width=\"345\" height=\"440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary.png 689w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary-235x300.png 235w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary-164x209.png 164w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary-78x100.png 78w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary-548x700.png 548w, https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/sary-432x552.png 432w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 345px) 100vw, 345px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ajar-online\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ajar.com.kw\/en\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ajar Online<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Country: <\/strong>Kuwait<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Service type: <\/strong>real-estate management<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Renting a flat always involves money.

However, if you own a bigger number of properties and need to <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/asset-management-software-development\/\">manage them efficiently<\/a>, using a spreadsheet may be troublesome. Ajar Online solves most of the problems on both ends. As a landlord, you get clear insight into what is going on with your units, automatically send customized invoices, receive messages from the tenants (\u201cThe AC is not working\u201d etc.) and generate detailed reports to optimize the business. As a tenant, you\u2019ll receive alerts for due payments and will be able to realize them in a cashless way. The <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/fintech-mobile-app-development\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">app<\/a> has quickly become a hit among the leading real estate companies in Kuwait and helps manage over 40 thousand units as for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ajar is available in three different pricing plans. The basic one for USD 15 a month, but you need the Araj+ to use the best features of the app, such as auto-reminders, SMS notifications, payment tracking and analytics tools.

On the other hand, this startup allows everybody to make money helping local entrepreneurs, instead of empowering corporations even more. It\u2019s all for greater good. All you have to do is top up your account, <a href=\"https:\/\/codeandpepper.com\/services\/alternative-financing\/\">lend your money<\/a> to a company of your choice and collect returns. Just remember to re-invest! But why would you do it this way, besides the ethical reasons? liwwa investments are usually very profitable &#8211; as the startup claims, the returns usually vary from 9.18% to 16.12% (with a median of 13.20%.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The app has a brilliantly designed interface with advanced analytics tools, is Sharia law compliant and thanks to hundreds of data inputs, it calculates a pretty reliable risk score for all of your operations.
