Property Finder Partners with Keyper to Enable Monthly Rent in UAE

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: Property Finder, has announced a strategic partnership and investment in Keyper, the UAE’s pioneering rent-now-pay-monthly solution. The collaboration marks the first full integration of rent-in-installments technology within a major regional property portal, offering tenants a new level of financial flexibility.

Transforming the UAE’s Rental Payment Model

The integration will enable Property Finder users to pay rent in monthly instalments rather than making large upfront payments, reshaping a long-standing system in which annual rent is typically paid in one to four cheques. Keyper already supports thousands of tenants with monthly rental options, representing more than $545 million (AED 2 billion) in rental demand.

By embedding Keyper’s platform directly into Property Finder’s app and website, residents will gain seamless access to monthly payment options through card or direct debit—modernising the rental process and reducing the financial burden associated with traditional upfront commitments.

Benefits Across the Rental Ecosystem

The partnership aims to deliver meaningful improvements for all market participants:

Residents gain affordability and financial control through manageable monthly payments.
Agents can close deals faster, reduce fall-through rates, and attract more qualified tenants.
Landlords benefit from predictable income, fewer administrative tasks, and reduced default risks through secure digital payment flows.

Industry Leaders on the Partnership

“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.”

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.”

Supporting the UAE’s Digital Transformation

The initiative advances Dubai’s wider digital transformation agenda and supports the shift toward a modern, fully digitised rental ecosystem. Keyper’s rent-in-installments capability is scheduled to go live on Property Finder’s platform in the first half of 2026, paving the way for a more adaptable and financially accessible rental experience across the UAE.
