Abhi looks to fill these gaps by offering invoice factoring, payroll processing and financing, and earned wage access services to businesses and their employees. The company serves 400+ companies and recently issued Sukuk (or Sharia-compliant Islamic bonds) worth $6.8M in May 2023, becoming the region’s first fintech company to do so.
