    About Cassbana

    Founded in 2020 by former Careem executive Haitham Nassar, Cassbana operates as an embedded finance infrastructure platform. It addresses the financial inclusion gap by creating digital identities for micro, small, and medium enterprises. The company uses artificial intelligence to analyze behavioral patterns, enabling businesses that lack traditional banking history to access credit and manage business needs.

    The platform connects lenders, suppliers, and merchants within a single ecosystem. It facilitates inventory financing by allowing retailers to acquire goods through deferred payments, which are later settled in installments. By reporting successful repayment data, the system builds a behavior-based scoring model that helps financial institutions offer low-risk investments to previously underserved market segments.

    What they do

    The company develops an AI-driven platform that provides inventory financing and Shariah-compliant lending to small businesses and unbanked individuals. It utilizes machine learning to generate alternative credit scores based on behavioral data, bypassing the need for traditional financial records.

    Highlights

    • Operates as the region's leading embedded finance infrastructure platform for the B2B trade sector.
    • Utilizes a proprietary behavior-based scoring system powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning.
    • Provides Shariah-compliant financing structures specifically for the Saudi Arabian and Omani markets.
    • Offers rapid digital onboarding and data-driven credit approvals in as fast as 48 hours.
    • Integrates directly with existing ERP systems, accounting software, and e-commerce platforms.
    • Partners with distributors to enable nano-retailers to procure inventory without immediate cash outlay.

    The company maintains a workforce across Egypt, UAE, and Oman, with functional teams in operations, finance, sales, and technical development. Notable talent is frequently recruited from regional tech firms like Careem and Vodafone.
