Keyper Raises $11 Million to Scale UAE Rent Payments

Keyper Raises $11 Million to Scale UAE Rent Payments

July 13, 2026 | Riya Malhotra | UAE | PropTech

UAE-based proptech company Keyper has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round to scale its monthly rent payment platform and expand its digital real estate infrastructure across the country.

The round was led by Speedinvest, with participation from NeoVentures, Middle East Venture Partners, Dubai Future District Fund, Property Finder, Arab National Bank, Ellington Properties, Dar Ventures and Abbey Road Investment Group.

The funding marks a significant step for Keyper as demand for more flexible rental payment models continues to grow in the UAE. The company allows tenants to convert traditional annual rental payments into monthly digital payments, while landlords receive rental income upfront.

Keyper said the new capital will be used to expand its monthly rent payment platform, increase adoption among institutional landlords and large residential portfolios, introduce financing and liquidity solutions for property owners, and strengthen its wider ecosystem of property management and real estate services.

The Series A builds on Keyper’s earlier funding base, which included a previously announced $30 million Sukuk financing agreement with Franklin Templeton.

Since launch, Keyper has financed more than $44 million in rent value, including $19 million in 2026 year-to-date. The company currently supports more than 10,500 properties valued at over $6 billion, serves 4,000 landlords and has crossed 100,000 app downloads.

Keyper has also signed strategic partnerships with Dubai Land Department, Abu Dhabi Advanced Real Estate Services, Property Finder, Visa, Mashreq and other entities to support the digital transformation of rental payments across the UAE.

Unlike traditional rent facilitation providers, Keyper combines rent payments, property management technology and embedded financial services within a single platform. Its Rent Now, Pay Monthly product is designed to address one of the region’s most persistent rental market challenges: the gap between monthly salaries and annual or post-dated cheque-based rental payment structures.

Rana Abdel Latif, Partner at Speedinvest, said the firm was attracted by Keyper’s ability to address a major pain point in the rental market.

“At Speedinvest, what attracted us the most was not the size of the opportunity but the team’s ability to execute against it,” she said. “Omar and Walid are reimagining the rental experience by addressing one of the region's largest pain points: the disconnect between how tenants earn and how rent is paid.”

Amith Rajan, Executive Vice President, Head of Wholesale Digital Banking at Mashreq and CEO of NeoVentures, said the investment reflects a strategic partnership focused on modernising rental payments and unlocking market liquidity.

Nader AlBastaki, Managing Director of Dubai Future District Fund, said Keyper’s model supports Dubai’s wider ambition to become one of the world’s most attractive cities for global talent.

The funding comes as the UAE rental market moves further towards flexible, digital-first payment models. With Dubai Land Department’s Flexi Rent initiative and rising PropTech activity across the sector, rent payment innovation is becoming a central part of the country’s evolving real estate ecosystem.
