UAE-based property technology startup Keyper has successfully raised $34 million to further develop its rent now, pay later (RNPL) solution aimed at digitizing the rental experience in the UAE. The pre-Series A funding round, amounting to $4 million, was spearheaded by Dubai-based BECO Capital and Middle East Venture Partners. Additionally, Keyper has secured a $30 million term sheet agreement with Franklin Templeton Investments (ME) Ltd for Shariah-compliant sukuk financing. The capital infusion will facilitate landlords to receive annual rents upfront while providing tenants with the flexibility to pay in monthly installments using various digital payment methods.
