UAE-based proptech company Keyper has raised $11 million in a Series A funding round led by Speedinvest. The investment will help the company expand its digital rental platform, strengthen property management services, and introduce additional financial products for landlords across the UAE.
The funding round also included participation from NeoVentures, the corporate venture capital arm of Mashreq, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Dubai Future District Fund (DFDF), Property Finder, Arab National Bank, Ellington Properties, Dar Ventures, and Abbey Road Investment Group.
Most recently, the company also announced a $30 million Sukuk financing agreement with global asset manager Franklin Templeton. Together, these investments strengthen Keyper's financial position as it scales its residential real estate platform.
Founded to modernize the UAE's residential rental market, Keyper offers a platform that combines rental payments, property management, and embedded financial services.
The platform allows tenants to pay rent in monthly installments instead of annual lump-sum payments. Meanwhile, landlords receive their rental income upfront. As a result, both parties benefit from greater financial flexibility.
Besides rental payments, the platform also provides property management tools within a single digital system.
To expand its services, Keyper has partnered with several organizations across the UAE. These include the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Abu Dhabi Advanced Real Estate Services (ADRES), Property Finder, Visa, and Mashreq.
Through these collaborations, the company offers products such as Rent Now, Pay Monthly, which aims to simplify the rental payment process.
Demand for flexible rent payment options has grown alongside the UAE's expanding rental market.
Since its launch, Keyper has financed more than $44 million in rental payments. Of that amount, $19 million was financed during 2026 year-to-date.
The company also manages more than 10,500 properties with a combined asset value exceeding $6 billion. In addition, it serves over 4,000 landlords, while its mobile application has crossed 100,000 downloads.
Rana Abdel Latif, Partner at Speedinvest, said the investment was driven by the founding team's ability to execute its vision.
According to Latif, the company is addressing a long-standing challenge in the rental market by connecting payment solutions, financing, and property management through one platform.
Similarly, Amith Rajan, Executive Vice President and Head of Wholesale Digital Banking at Mashreq and CEO of NeoVentures, described the investment as the beginning of a long-term strategic partnership. He said the collaboration aims to modernize rental payments while improving liquidity across the residential property sector.
Nader AlBastaki, Managing Director of Dubai Future District Fund, added that flexible rental solutions can support the goals of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33) by making the city more attractive for global professionals.
Meanwhile, Khalid S. Alghamdi, CEO of ANB Capital, noted that despite more than AED100 billion in tenancy contracts recorded in Dubai last year, much of the market continues to rely on post-dated cheques. He said digital infrastructure could help modernize the rental ecosystem.
Omar Abu Innab, Co-founder and CEO of Keyper, said the latest funding reflects investor confidence in the company's long-term vision for digitizing residential renting.
The company plans to use the new capital to expand its monthly rent payment platform, increase adoption among institutional landlords and large residential portfolios, introduce new financing and liquidity products for property owners, and continue developing its property management platform.
As digital adoption continues across the real estate sector, Keyper is expanding its technology platform to bring rental payments, property management, and financial services together within a single ecosystem.
