Pakistani supply chain fintech firm Haball plans to expand its business into Saudi Arabia and other Gulf markets, following a recent funding round. The company aims to establish a beachhead operation in Saudi Arabia within the next 12 months, focusing on supply chain financing and payments. Haball provides Shariah-compliant financing to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and multinationals, and has processed over $3bn in payments and disbursed over $140m in financing. The company sees opportunities in Saudi Arabia due to its mature credit culture and underserved SME and supply chain financing market.
