Zomato selects Invoice Bazaar to provide working capital to

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, March 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Invoice Bazaar, the Dubai-based inclusive finance platform owned by fintech holding company Triterras Inc. (OTC Expert Market: TRIRF), and food delivery leader Zomato, one of the largest restaurant aggregators in the UAE, today announced a renewed fintech partnership to bring access to working capital to restaurants listed on Zomato UAE. Invoice Bazaar and Zomato started the partnership last year initially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the preliminary rollout, Invoice Bazar disbursed over AED 10 million in critical funding. Working capital has helped Zomato’s partner restaurants reorient and grow their businesses by focusing on deliveries, easing the burden of supplier payments and reducing operating costs.

“Invoice Bazaar is the perfect solution for our restaurants. They open the doors to critical working capital financing and have already helped us distribute over MAD 10 million. We look forward to continuing to work together to bring this inclusive financial opportunity to more than 12,000 restaurants listed by Zomato across the UAE,” said Neha Sood, Vice President of Zomato.

Restaurants are a major business segment in the UAE, but these businesses have limited access to traditional bank financing. Invoice Bazaar helps address this cash crunch by providing critical, real-time working capital to interested restaurants based on their receivables and historical performance, among other factors. With its data-driven financial technology and inclusive network of bank and non-bank lenders, Invoice Bazaar is able to unlock value and provide financial flexibility to the restaurant industry in the UAE. Reimbursement and working capital service seamlessly integrate with Zomato’s existing payment experience.

“The restaurant ecosystem on Zomato now benefits from the cornerstone of running a restaurant: access to working capital. In turn, Invoice Bazaar provides financial inclusion to small businesses in line with our global mission. We We are excited to grow our partnership together and bring working capital to thousands more restaurants across the UAE,” said Anand Nagaraj, co-founder and CEO of Invoice Bazaar.

Zomato is a restaurant review, restaurant discovery, food delivery and restaurant transaction platform providing detailed information on over 1.5 million restaurants in 24 countries. Invoice Bazaar partnerships are specifically designed to enable e-commerce seller financing and have helped small businesses collect over US$140 million in receivables.
