Jeddah - Yasmine El Tohamy - RIYADH: Saudi digital lending platform Tameed, specializing in Shariah-compliant financing for small and medium enterprises, has successfully closed a series A funding round, raising SR56.75 million ($15 million).

Mohammed Al-Omayyer, CEO and co-founder of Tameed, said: “The coming years are promising for the growth of the Kingdom’s economy, and we in Tameed are keen on meeting the needs of SMEs by offering innovative funding products.”
He also highlighted the recent introduction of performance bond financing for projects, expanding support for SMEs involved in major national projects.
Omar Al-Romaih, CEO of investments at Alromaih Group, reflected on the funding round’s success, stating, “The results of the funding round reflect our belief in this opportunity and the sector.”
He said they look forward to witnessing Tameed continue its growth and expand its investment and funding opportunities.
