Tabby launches a Saudi-headquartered AI Factory on NVIDIA HGX systems to host and train AI models locally.
The initiative targets fraud detection, risk scoring, customer care, and user-level personalized experiences.
The initiative strengthens Saudi Arabia’s drive towards localized AI infrastructure and Tabby’s fintech strategic growth.
Tabby has become one of the fastest-growing fintech brands in the Middle East, boasting over 20 million users and 40,000 merchant partners in the GCC. The company started as a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platform but grew into a broader digital financial ecosystem, leveraging technology to make online payments and shopping easier and more accessible.
The launch of Tabby’s AI Factory is a milestone in its development as technology-driven company. The factory will enable the company to build, train, and deploy sophisticated AI models within Saudi Arabia itself a move which not only enhances performance but also meets increasing regulatory needs around data sovereignty and local hosting of data. These are key priorities for financial institutions across the region’s more complex regulatory landscapes.
Saudi Arabia, as part of its Vision 2030 strategy, has focused on the establishment of a knowledge economy based on advanced technology and artificial intelligence. Saudi seeks to reduce dependency on foreign cloud infrastructure, enhance computing capacity at the national level, and push digital innovation in sectors through the cultivation of sovereign AI capability. Tabby’s efforts directly align with these national priorities by establishing one of the region’s most advanced private AI infrastructures.
NVIDIA’s HGX platform is central to making this a reality. Its reputation for scalability and performance, HGX systems are built to handle complex AI workloads as well as high-performance computing tasks. For Tabby, what this means is faster fraud detection models, improved risk scoring algorithms, and more sophisticated, AI-driven customer experiences all powered by local infrastructure that ensures speed, security, and compliance.
Tabby’s recent $160 million Series E funding has given the company both investor enthusiasm and financial strength to embark on such breakthrough technology ventures. Valued at $3.3 billion and planning to go public in the future, Tabby is positioned at the fintech-artificial intelligence nexus, which will be where innovation propels the sector to the next level.
Establishment of the Saudi AI Factory not only boosts Tabby’s operating effectiveness but also enhances its position as a regional top dog in AI-driven fintech solutions. With the business expanding further across the Middle East, the establishment lays the foundation for an age of localized, smart, and secure financial technology across the region.
