About Alaan

Alaan is an AI-native finance platform for businesses in the Middle East. We combine corporate cards, a business bank account*, international transfers, expense management, and accounting automation into one platform, with intelligence baked into every finance workflow. Our mission is to simplify finance for businesses in the Middle East and help them prosper. We've grown rapidly, and now work with over 3,000 startups, mid-market, and enterprise customers, doing tens of millions of dollars in monthly payment volume. We've been default alive since our launch in August 2022, and raised one of the largest Series A rounds in Middle East history, backed by Peak XV (formerly Sequoia India). Want to join us?
