What Keyper does
Keyper was founded in 2022 by Omar Abu Innab, its chief executive, and Walid Al Saqqaf. Its platform lets tenants pay their rent in monthly instalments while landlords receive the full rental income upfront. It also offers property management tools and embedded financial services.
The company was set up to deal with a common practice in the UAE rental market: paying a full year's rent with a few post-dated cheques.
According to Wamda, Keyper has financed more than $44m in rent value since launch, including $19m so far in 2026. The platform supports more than 10,500 properties valued at over $6bn, serves 4,000 landlords and has passed 100,000 app downloads. It has partnership agreements with the Dubai Land Department, Abu Dhabi Advanced Real Estate Services (ADRES), Property Finder, Visa and Mashreq. The company did not disclose its headcount.
Who invested
Speedinvest led the round. Rana Abdel Latif, a partner at the firm, said what attracted it most was the team's ability to execute rather than the size of the market.
Several of the other backers come from the property and banking sectors Keyper works with: Property Finder and Mashreq are also among its strategic partners, while Ellington Properties appears in Pulse 2.0's list as Ellington Properties Development. Khalid S. Alghamdi, chief executive of ANB Capital, said Keyper was not a rent app but an infrastructure layer for residential real estate.
Nader AlBastaki, managing director of Dubai Future District Fund, linked the investment to D33, Dubai's economic agenda, saying that more flexible rent payments support its goals.
What the money is for
Keyper said it will use the funding to expand its monthly rent payments platform, increase adoption among institutional landlords, launch financing and liquidity products for property owners and strengthen its wider property management and real estate offering.
Abu Innab said the company was proud to have attracted a group of top-tier investors and strategic partners.
The funding so far
The equity round builds on a previously announced $30m sukuk financing agreement with the asset manager Franklin Templeton, according to Wamda. Wamda did not give a date for that agreement, and a link in its article referred to a $34m mix of equity and sukuk, so the exact figure may differ.
No earlier equity rounds were detailed in coverage of the Series A.
