In January 2021, Tamara closed its $6 million seed funding round. In April last year, the firm secured $110 million in its Series A round led by Checkout.com. Through the recent Series B funding, Tamara is planning to expand its presence in the growing MENA region.

Tamara has established itself as the trusted, reliable, and sustainable local partner for any regional or global business looking to expand in Saudi Arabia and MENA.”
