Alaan Unveils SuperPay to Modernize International B2B Payments for UAE Firms
Dubai, Monday, 9 February 2026.
Capitalizing on a recent $48 million funding round, Alaan enters the $500 billion cross-border market with SuperPay, designed to streamline international supplier payments for UAE businesses.
Targeting a $500 Billion Market Friction Point
Today, February 9, 2026, Alaan formally announced the launch of SuperPay™, a product specifically engineered to facilitate global supplier payment transfers for businesses operating out of the UAE [1]. This expansion addresses a substantial volume of capital; data indicates that annual international B2B payments in the UAE currently exceed $500 billion [1]. For finance teams, cross-border transactions have historically been a source of operational drag. Parthi Duraisamy, Co-founder and CEO of Alaan, noted that the company has witnessed “firsthand how much friction finance teams deal with when paying suppliers abroad” [1]. The new service aims to resolve these inefficiencies by providing a “modern and predictable experience” for international settlements [1].
Scaling Operations Post-Series A
The introduction of SuperPay™ follows a significant capital injection, with Alaan recently closing a record-breaking $48 million Series A funding round [1]. Since its founding in 2022 by Duraisamy and Karun Kurien, the fintech firm has rapidly expanded its footprint in the spend-management sector [1]. Currently, Alaan’s corporate card and software solutions are utilized by over 3,000 customers, a roster that includes prominent regional players such as G42, Careem, and McDonald’s [1]. This adoption rate has positioned Alaan as the top-ranked expense management platform in the Middle East and Africa according to G2 [1].
Operational Efficiency and Beta Incentives
Alaan’s platform leverages artificial intelligence to streamline financial processes, a capability the company claims has already saved businesses over 2.3 million hours in administrative time [1]. Moving forward with the SuperPay™ rollout, the company is adopting a phased approach. Alaan is currently onboarding a limited early cohort of UAE businesses to test the system [1]. To incentivize early adoption during this beta period, these initial users are being granted access to zero transfer fees and preferential pricing structures [1].
