Overview
The most valuable fintech in MENA, operating a buy-now-pay-later and card platform across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait. Tabby's valuation climbed from $3.3 billion (February 2026, following a $160 million Series E) to $4.5 billion after a secondary share sale, with annualized transaction volumes nearly doubling past $10 billion; the company is preparing for a potential late-2025/2026 IPO advised by HSBC, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley, with the Saudi Exchange as a possible listing venue.
Strategic Risks
- BNPL regulatory scrutiny increasing across Gulf markets as the sector scales
- Competitive exposure to other regional and global BNPL/fintech entrants ahead of a planned IPO
Future Outlook
- Preparing for a potential late-2025/2026 IPO, possibly on the Saudi Exchange
- Continued product expansion beyond core BNPL into cards and subscription offerings
