Pakistani fintech company Abhi has partnered with UAE-based payments infrastructure provider NymCard to help financial institutions deliver faster and more efficient credit solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the United Arab Emirates.
Under the strategic partnership, Abhi will combine its business-finance solutions with NymCard’s card and payments infrastructure to support multiple stages of the SME credit process, including digital onboarding, loan origination, credit decisioning and disbursement.
Streamlining the SME Lending Lifecycle
The companies said the combined technology will allow banks and licensed financial institutions to streamline processes that are traditionally handled through separate systems. This integration significantly reduces the time, cost, and administrative complexity involved in onboarding businesses and processing credit applications.
For SMEs, the partnership creates a frictionless path from submitting a digital financing application to receiving approved funds. Financial institutions, meanwhile, can introduce and scale modern SME credit products without having to build and maintain multiple standalone technology components independently.
Regional Expansion and Infrastructure
NymCard provides robust infrastructure covering card issuance, money movement, settlement, reconciliation, and lending-related capabilities through its proprietary nCore platform. The company operates across several Middle Eastern and regional markets, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan.
For Abhi, the agreement marks another major milestone in its ongoing expansion across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The Pakistani-founded fintech has successfully scaled beyond its original earned-wage-access model into comprehensive SME financing and embedded-finance solutions, operating across Pakistan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman.
As financial institutions increasingly turn to embedded finance and digital-credit infrastructure to bridge funding gaps for underserved businesses, the collaboration between Abhi and NymCard sets a new benchmark for cross-border fintech cooperation in the region.
