This collaboration marks a major milestone in NEO PAY’s mission to unlock embedded financing for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UAE.
By integrating Biz2X’s advanced AI-powered lending engine into NEO PAY’s merchant ecosystem, the partnership will create a marketplace for lenders and borrowers, enabling real- time credit decisioning, tailored financing, and accelerated loan disbursement, all directly embedded within NEO PAY’s platform.

Lenders on NEO PAY’s platform will gain access to a verified and rapidly expanding base of SME merchants, each with rich transaction histories that enhance creditworthiness. The integration of Biz2X’s AI technology significantly reduces acquisition costs by pre-qualifying businesses and accelerating loan disbursements from weeks to days.
With this partnership, NEO PAY merchants benefit from a seamless financing experience powered by digital onboarding, with loan approvals possible in as little as 48 hours. The embedded Biz2X AI engine ensures that each merchant receives financing offers tailored to their unique cash flow and sales cycle. Additionally, repayment options are flexible and align with business performance.
