UAE Credit Growth in 2025 Creates Big Opportunities for Invoice Financing

The UAE’s banking landscape is shifting—and for businesses that depend on cash flow, this is welcome news. According to the Central Bank of the UAE’s March 2025 Statistical Bulletin, banks are showing renewed appetite for lending. Domestic credit is up, liquidity is strong, and business confidence is building. But for many SMEs, accessing traditional term loans remains complex.

That’s where invoice financing and factoring step in.

Strong Liquidity, But Gaps in SME Lending

Despite the rise in private sector deposits and credit, SMEs still face challenges:

  • Long payment cycles
  • Seasonal cash flow mismatches
  • Limited collateral for traditional loans
  • Banks have liquidity, but rigid lending models persist. That’s why iFund Factoring offers a faster, simpler way to access working capital.

March 2025 Snapshot

The latest banking data shows that funds are available—but access remains the key challenge. Gross credit in the UAE reached AED 2.24 trillion in March 2025, marking a 9.4% year-on-year increase. Business and industrial credit is rising steadily, while non-resident lending jumped by an impressive 37%, reflecting growing external confidence in UAE-based entities. Liquidity across the system remains strong, creating a favorable environment for financing innovation and cash flow solutions.
