Venture debt for a UAE digital-banking SaaS platform

A real Matchpoint mandate. The client identity is redacted and disclosed only under a signed NDA.

The situation. A revenue-positive digital-banking SaaS platform in the UAE, having recently raised at a USD 45m valuation, wanted venture debt to extend its runway without further equity dilution.

What we did. Matchpoint advised on the venture-debt facility, positioning the platform’s revenue profile to lenders and structuring terms suited to a growth-stage financial-technology business.

The outcome. The platform secured venture debt to extend its runway on non-dilutive terms.

Financial Institutions (FIG) — frequently asked questions

Digital banks, payment and lending platforms, and financial-infrastructure and fintech companies, on growth capital, venture debt and structured capital.

Qualified investors can access secondary participations in leading private fintech and payments platforms through our alternatives desk, subject to availability.

Twenty-two sectors across five groups: real estate, infrastructure and data centres; oil and gas, power and utilities, renewable energy, metals and mining and chemicals; industrials, business services, transportation and maritime; consumer and retail, food and beverage, healthcare and sports; and technology, media and telecom, the innovation economy, financial institutions, financial sponsors and the public sector.

Many sector pages carry a genuinely executed Matchpoint transaction, with client identities redacted and disclosed only under NDA. Where we are building named coverage, the page sets out our senior sector credentials and transferable capability honestly, rather than overstating a track record.

Practice areas describe what we do — equity, debt, M&A, alternatives and execution. Industries describe who we serve. Most mandates combine both: a sector view and the right capital product.

Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.

Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.

A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.

Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.

Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.

Use the enquiry form, email ck.adya@matchpoint-partners.com, or call/WhatsApp +971 52 345 1119. Every mandate is led by a partner from the very first conversation.
