Malaa | ملاءة
Malaa (ملاءة) is a Riyadh-based fintech that became Saudi Arabia's first licensed open banking product. Its consumer app lets people link all their bank accounts in one place, track spending, and invest in Shariah-compliant, professionally managed portfolios at what it says is the lowest management fee in the Kingdom. Founded in 2020-2021 by Ali Alorainy and Faisal Alqarni, Malaa is regulated by both the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and the Capital Market Authority (CMA), and raised a $17.3M Series A in 2024 led by SNB Capital.
