Property Finder Partners With Keyper To Introduce Rent Now, Pay Monthly Solution For UAE Residents

Property Finder, property platform in the MENA region, has revealed its strategic collaboration and investment in Keyper. This partnership introduces a rent-now-pay-monthly solution to the UAE's rental market.

Keyper's innovative technology, which allows rent payments in installments, will be seamlessly integrated into Property Finder's app and website. This development enables residents to pay rent monthly instead of making large upfront payments, marking a significant shift in the UAE's rental landscape.

The traditional practice of paying annual rent through one to four cheques often places financial strain on residents. Keyper's system already facilitates monthly rent payments for thousands of tenants, representing over AED 2 billion in rental demand. This change offers more flexibility and financial control for residents.

The partnership is advantageous for the entire rental ecosystem. Residents can manage their finances better with monthly payments via card or direct debit. Agents benefit from quicker deal closures and access to more qualified tenants, while landlords enjoy reliable income and reduced administrative tasks through digital payments.

"This partnership marks an important milestone in our mission to bring greater transparency, flexibility and convenience to the UAE's real estate market," said Michael Lahyani, Founder & CEO of Property Finder.

"By easing the financial burden of large upfront rental payments, we're helping new residents establish themselves more easily and build long-term roots in the country. It aligns with Dubai's strategic push towards a smarter, more efficient economy under His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's D33 plan. It's another step forward in our purpose to change living for good in the region."

The integration of Keyper’s technology into Property Finder’s ecosystem aims to modernise and digitise the rental experience in line with Dubai’s digital transformation agenda. The rent-in-installments feature is set to launch on Property Finder’s platform by mid-2026, offering a financially accessible way to rent homes in the UAE.

Omar Abu Innab, CEO & Founder of Keyper, added: "We're excited to partner with Property Finder to make renting even easier and accessible for millions of people. Monthly rent payments are the norm in major global cities, and the UAE is moving in that direction. By bringing Keyper's technology into Property Finder's ecosystem, we're offering renters greater flexibility and landlords greater certainty, delivering meaningful value to the entire market."
