Who we are

CredibleX was founded to help solve one of the biggest challenges faced by small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) - access to money when they need it. But we’re not building another stuffy lending company. Instead, we took a blank piece of paper and imagined a new future and one where we could create the most impact.

CredibleX is an embedded lending fintech startup, helping both our partners have more impact on their small business customers as well as helping SMEs access and choose credit solutions that work for them. We are part of the Further Ventures family, an ADQ-backed venture capital company in Abu Dhabi.
