Building financial infrastructure for the region
Lean was founded in 2019 with a simple belief: that financial services in MENA should be faster, more transparent, and accessible to all businesses.
Lean Technologies is the leading payments, data, and verification infrastructure powering the MENA economy. We combine Open Finance and Open Banking into a single platform, giving banks, fintechs, and enterprises across the UAE and Saudi Arabia everything they need to move money, verify customers and access financial data.
We are licensed and regulated in both markets, operating under the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
