Haball Raises $52M Led by Zayn VC’s Faisal Aftab

In a major development for Pakistan’s financial technology ecosystem, B2B fintech platform Haball has announced the successful closure of a $52 million funding round, with the investment led by Zayn VC, the venture capital firm founded by renowned investor and Shark Tank Pakistan judge Faisal Aftab. This substantial investment marks one of the largest funding rounds in Pakistan’s fintech history. It is a decisive vote of confidence in Haball’s mission to digitize and streamline B2B payment infrastructure across the region. The round also attracted participation from global and regional investors, further highlighting the growing interest in Pakistan's fintech sector. Founded by Omar Bin Ahsan, Haball provides end-to-end solutions for B2B payments, helping large enterprises shift away from cash-heavy, manual processes toward fully digital, secure, and efficient transaction workflows. The platform enables businesses to digitize collections, invoicing, supply chain payments, and financial reconciliation — areas that have long been bottlenecks for enterprises in emerging markets. Speaking about the investment, Faisal Aftab, Managing Partner at Zayn VC, stated: "  Haball is solving one of the most critical problems for enterprises — managing receivables and digitizing payments in a fragmented and largely informal economy.

Their platform is bridging the gap between businesses and financial institutions, and we believe in their ability to scale both locally and globally." Haball plans to utilize the new capital to expand its engineering and product development teams, enhance platform capabilities with AI-driven analytics, and accelerate regional expansion into South Asia and the MENA region. The company will also focus on deepening partnerships with banks, enterprise clients, and financial regulators to support broader digital adoption. CEO Omar Bin Ahsan commented on the milestone: "This investment will enable us to take a giant leap in transforming how businesses handle payments in Pakistan and beyond. We are building the infrastructure that will power the future of enterprise finance in emerging markets." With this funding, Haball is poised to become a category leader in B2B fintech, aiming to revolutionize how businesses handle transactions and financial operations. The startup’s growth also aligns with broader national and regional goals to promote financial inclusion, digital transformation, and transparency in business ecosystems. As Pakistan’s startup ecosystem continues to gain global attention, Haball’s funding success is expected to inspire further innovation and investment in the country’s fintech and enterprise technology sectors.
