What the KFH and Ordable/ Partnership Offers

KFH Deputy General Manager Cards Talal AlArbeed said the partnership reflects KFH's commitment to supporting digital transformation for SMEs and reinforcing their competitiveness in a business environment witnessing rapid digital acceleration. He said the collaboration equips merchants with tools to simplify daily operations and optimize order and payment management.

Ordable/ co-founder Mona Al-Baker said: "We are proud of our strategic partnership with KFH, which enables us to empower entrepreneurs and SMEs across Kuwait to launch online stores and scale their digital sales channels."

Ordable/'s Scale Across Middle East Markets

Ordable/ was founded in 2018 by Mona Baker and Salem Marafi as an e-commerce platform initially built for a home-based bakery to operate remotely, then productized for broader merchant use, according to akta.pro company records. The platform has scaled from Kuwait to more than 11 Middle East markets, with country-specific localized websites, pricing in local currency, and Arabic-language support. Its product surface has expanded from online ordering to a four-product commerce suite covering Scan or Tap QR menus, point of sale, and B2B ordering, plus add-on modules including a branded mobile app, driver management app, order management dashboard, marketing and CRM tools, and analytics and reporting. The same records show more than 3,000 stores launched, more than 6,000,000 orders received, and more than $875 million in merchant sales processed across all markets.
