ADIB has spent nearly three decades turning Sharia principles into everyday financial machinery. Its next act is to make that machinery nearly invisible - inside apps, instant approvals and investments that start small.
Tameed (تعميد) is a Riyadh-based fintech that runs the first Saudi Central Bank-licensed debt crowd-lending platform specialized in purchase-order financing. It connects small and medium enterprises holding government and large-corporate purchase orders with a crowd of individual and institutional investors who fund those orders in return for Sharia-compliant profit. SMEs unlock working capital in as little as three business days, while investors gain access to short-term, asset-backed opportunities that have paid an average annual return in the mid-teens.
