"

UAE-based proptech startup Keyper has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round led by Speedinvest, with participation from NeoVentures (Mashreq), Middle East Venture Partners, Dubai Future District Fund, Property Finder, Arab National Bank, Ellington Properties, Dar Ventures and Abbey Road Investment Group.

Founded in 2022 by Omar Abu Innab and Walid Al Saqqaf, Keyper enables tenants to pay rent monthly while landlords receive rental income upfront, combining payment services with property management and embedded financial products. The new funding will be used to expand monthly rent payments, introduce financing and liquidity solutions for landlords, and strengthen the company's broader digital real estate platform.

The raise follows Keyper's previously announced $30 million Sukuk financing agreement with Franklin Templeton.

Since launching, the company has financed more than $44 million in rental payments, including $19 million so far in 2026. Its platform now supports more than 10,500 properties with a combined value exceeding $6 billion, serves 4,000 landlords, and has recorded more than 100,000 app downloads.

Keyper has also established partnerships with the Dubai Land Department, Abu Dhabi Advanced Real Estate Services, Property Finder, Visa and Mashreq.
