Keyper launches Rent Now, Pay Later with FAB and Dubai First
By Gloria Methri
Keyper has joined forces with the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and Dubai First to make the Rent Now, Pay Later (RNPL) programme available to users in the UAE. Designed to redefine how tenants pay rent, this partnership introduces the convenience of paying by card, monthly installments on annual rent, earning bank rewards, guaranteed cashback, and the chance to win back a month’s rent.
The programme enables tenants to pay rent in installments using their FAB or Dubai First Mastercard credit card through Keyper’s digital platform. It brings benefits such as guaranteed AED 500 cashback for participants and a raffle where tenants can win back one month’s rent — up to AED 100,000.
“Rent is often the largest household expense, and this partnership is aimed at making it more manageable and rewarding for tenants,” said Omar Abu Innab, CEO at Keyper. “By merging financial flexibility with tangible rewards, we are transforming the rental experience for tenants while ensuring landlords continue to receive their timely payments.”
The programme is valid from 1 January 2025 to 30 June 2025. Here is how participants can benefit:
- Apply for RNPL with Keyper
- Pay with your FAB or Dubai First Mastercard CC: Tenants use their FAB or Dubai First Mastercard credit card to pay their monthly rent via Keyper.
- Guaranteed cashback: Receive AED 500 cashback, distributed as AED 100 over the first five months of rent payments.
- Raffle to win a month’s rent: Each rent payment through Keyper earns an entry into a monthly raffle, increasing the chances of winning.
This programme offers dual advantages: Tenants gain financial breathing room with manageable rent instalments, and landlords maintain their preferred payment schedules while enjoying secure and timely transactions direct to their bank account.
Dubai’s and Abu Dhabi’s rental markets have long been characterised by lump-sum payments that place considerable strain on households. This partnership addresses that challenge by introducing an alternative that aligns rental payments with monthly income cycles.
Keyper’s digital-first platform ensures that every transaction is seamless, secure, and transparent. The platform ensures landlords receive payments on time, easing administrative burdens and fostering trust between tenants and property owners.
