UAE-based fintech startup Omnispay has raised $2 million in a Pre-Series A funding round, led by Infinity Value Capital Group, as it looks to deepen its presence in the small and medium business (SME) payments and finance market across the Gulf region.
The fresh capital will support Omnispay’s transition from a fast-settlement payments provider into a full-stack SME finance platform. The company plans to expand its offerings to include cash-flow management tools and embedded credit, enabling businesses to collect payments, make payouts, and access financing within a single, integrated system. This approach is aimed at solving one of the most persistent challenges faced by SMEs in the region—liquidity and access to timely capital.
Over the past 12 months, Omnispay has reported strong operating momentum. The company said its customer base doubled, transaction volumes grew fourfold, and revenue increased 5.5 times, reflecting rising demand from small and mid-sized businesses seeking faster and more reliable payment solutions. During the same period, operating expenses grew at a much slower pace of 2.2 times, underscoring a focus on disciplined execution and sustainable growth.
A key driver behind Omnispay’s performance is ARIES, its proprietary in-house AI system. The platform tracks transactions in real time to identify credit and fraud risks, helping merchants operate in a secure and compliant environment. According to the company, this technology has contributed to a Net Promoter Score (NPS) above 60, indicating strong satisfaction and loyalty among SME customers.
By enabling quicker access to funds, Omnispay positions itself as a cash-flow enabler rather than just a payment processor. Faster settlements allow merchants to manage working capital more efficiently, meet operational expenses on time, and plan expansion with greater confidence. One of Omnispay’s customers, GForm, used the platform’s next-day settlement feature to overcome cash-flow constraints and support the expansion of its physical operations in the UAE.
With the new funding in place, Omnispay plans to scale its operations across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), including entry into Saudi Arabia, one of the region’s largest SME markets. The company is also looking to build strategic partnerships with distribution and lending players to broaden access to financial services and strengthen support for SME growth across the region.
As digital payments and embedded finance gain traction in the Middle East, Omnispay’s focus on combining fast settlements, AI-driven risk management, and integrated financial tools positions it to play a larger role in shaping the next phase of SME finance in the GCC.
