Middle East & Dubai-based fintech & shopping app Tabby has raised $160 million in Series E funding at $3.3 billion valuation. Tabby was founded in 2019 by Hosam Arab & Barkalov. Tabby investors include Blue Pool Capital, Hassana Investment Company, STV, Wellington Management, PayPal Ventures, Mubadala Investment Capital, Arbor Ventures, Endeavor Catalyst, Peak XV Partners (Previously Sequoia Capital India), Raed Ventures & MSA Capital. Announcement (12/2/25): “Tabby, the MENA’s leading financial services and shopping app, has raised $160 million in a Series E financing round at a $3.3 billion valuation, cementing Tabby as the most valuable fintech company in the region. The round was led by existing investors Blue Pool Capital and Hassana Investment Company, and drew additional participation from STV and Wellington Management. Since the last funding round in October 2023, the financial services app has almost doubled its annualised transaction volumes to over $10 billion while growing profitability. The company recently acquired Tweeq, a Saudi-based digital wallet, expanding its product portfolio. It has introduced Tabby Card for flexible payments beyond checkout and Tabby Plus, a subscription program. Additionally, it has evolved its core buy now, pay later offering with longer-term payment plans, Tabby Shop to help users find the best deals, and Tabby Care, a buyer protection program. The funds will be primarily used to accelerate the expansion of Tabby’s financial services, including digital spending accounts, payments, cards, and money management tools, while advancing Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals by driving the Kingdom’s cashless economy forward. This financing round positions Tabby strongly as it prepares for its upcoming IPO, signalling a pivotal step in its growth journey and reinforcing its ability to deliver the next generation of financial services across the Middle East. Tabby begins 2025 with more than 15 million registered users and over 40,000 sellers, driving an annualized sales volume of over $10 billion.”
