FinTech Global Requested capital: $2,580,000

Overview

FinConnect aims to bridge the gap between borrowers and lenders in the Saudi Arabian financial landscape. Our robust platform enables individuals to lend and borrow money directly, bypassing traditional banking hurdles. Since our beta launch in 2025, we have successfully onboarded over 5,000 users and facilitated loans worth $1 million. This traction underscores the market demand for alternative lending solutions. However, to capture a larger market share, we need to enhance our technology and marketing efforts significantly.

We've developed a proprietary algorithm that assesses creditworthiness using alternative data, making financing accessible to those often overlooked by traditional banks. The initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with 85% of our users expressing satisfaction with the borrowing process.
