Tamam, a Zain fintech and leader in Saudi Arabia’s microlending sector, is collaborating with ZainTECH, FICO, and Lean Technologies to develop cutting-edge, AI-driven data solutions specifically tailored to the Saudi consumer finance market. The alliance will result in the region’s first-of-its-kind AI-driven credit assessment model in the Kingdom, leveraging open banking data to drive financial inclusion, underscoring the Kingdom’s ambitious Vision 2030, aimed at positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in fintech innovation, and aligns with the regulatory framework set by the Saudi Central Bank.

The strategic partnership brings together four key players to explore and integrate advanced AI applications and open banking technologies to enhance Tamam’s platform. Through this collaboration, Tamam aims to revolutionize the consumer finance landscape, providing personalized, data-driven financial solutions that cater to the evolving needs of Saudi customers.

Tamam is a leading one-stop shop for financial services in Saudi Arabia, providing individuals with the opportunity to receive Shari’a-compliant loans without physically visiting a bank location. The platform’s end-to-end application and award process takes just minutes from the time of downloading the app to the loan amount being paid out. Loans are provided to Saudi nationals and residents, without the requirement of a salary transfer or guarantor, with a finance amount up to SAR 50,000 available for a 24-month tenure.

This strategic partnership marks a significant milestone in Tamam’s journey toward becoming a leader in AI-powered financial services in the Kingdom. By leveraging the expertise of leading-edge technology partners, we will deliver innovative, secure, and customer-centric solutions that meet the needs of our customers as well as contribute to Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision of becoming a regional fintech hub.

Yousef Al Musaileem, CEO, Tamam

The importance of digital data and AI in driving significant predictive capabilities that fintech pioneers like Tamam can utilize to improve customer experiences is significant. This four-party collaboration to accelerate the delivery of new innovative fintech propositions, reinforces our ambitions to drive digital transformation and empower growth of enterprises in Saudi Arabia, further substantiated by ZainTECH’s recent opening of offices in Riyadh.
