Keyper, the UAE-based proptech company transforming how people rent, manage and own residential property, has raised US$11 million in a Series A funding round led by Speedinvest, one of EMEA’s leading venture capital firms, alongside NeoVentures, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mashreq and the bank’s Corporate Venture Capital Fund, Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), Dubai Future District Fund (DFDF), Property Finder, Arab National Bank, Ellington Properties, Dar Ventures and Abbey Road Investment Group.

The investment marks a significant milestone for Keyper as it accelerates its mission to modernise residential real estate through its fully digitised operating platform that serves tenants, landlords and property managers. The Series A builds on Keyper's existing funding base, which includes a previously announced US$30 million Sukuk financing agreement with global asset manager Franklin Templeton, further supporting the company's long-term growth strategy.

Founded to address one of the region's biggest rental market challenges, Keyper enables tenants to convert traditional annual rental payments into manageable monthly digital payments, while allowing landlords to receive upfront rental income. Unlike traditional rent facilitation providers, Keyper combines rent payments, property management technology and embedded financial services within a single platform. The company has signed strategic partnership agreements with the Dubai Land Department (DLD), Abu Dhabi Advanced Real Estate Services (ADRES), Property Finder, Visa, Mashreq and others to accelerate the digital transformation of rental payments through its Rent Now, Pay Monthly and other innovative products across the UAE.  

As the UAE rental market continues to evolve, demand for greater payment flexibility has increased significantly. Since launch, Keyper has financed more than US$44 million in rent value, including US$19 million in 2026 year-to-date alone. 

Today, Keyper supports more than 10,500 properties valued at over US$6 billion, serves 4,000 landlords and has surpassed 100,000 app downloads, underscoring its growing role in the UAE's residential real estate ecosystem.

The investment has attracted strong support from leading regional and international investors, who see significant potential in Keyper's vision and market opportunity.

Speaking on the investment, Rana Abdel Latif, Partner at Speedinvest, said, “At Speedinvest, what attracted us the most was not the size of the opportunity but the team’s ability to execute against it. Omar and Walid are reimagining the rental experience by addressing one of the region's largest pain points: the disconnect between how tenants earn and how rent is paid. Today, the Keyper platform brings together payments, financing, and property management, solving real problems for all sides of the market. We are excited to lead the Series A and support the company's next stage of growth.”
