It has since grown to more than 180 employees in offices around the world including the UAE, Germany and Vietnam, and the company's $110 million Series A round in 2021 - led by US-based provider Checkout.com - broke records as the largest-ever in the Middle East.Shortly after launching, the company became the first in its category to acquire a sandbox license from the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), which enables the rollout and growth of new financial technologies in the Kingdom.
