Notice: Function amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is currently doing the `amp_init` hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. It appears the plugin with slug `schema-and-structured-data-for-wp` is responsible; please contact the author. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

  • Company Growth: Hakbah is one of MENA’s fastest-growing startups, operating in KSA’s $216 billion savings market. It has seen an 18x increase in Total Savings Under Management and a 4x increase in revenue this year.
  • Partnerships: The company has formed strategic partnerships, including with flynas, the national low-cost airline in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
  • Focus Areas for Funding: The Series A funds will be utilized for further product development, with a focus on Machine Learning and enhancing the easily integrable savings engine.

  • Innovation through Technology: Hakbah aims to leverage machine learning and customer behaviors to develop cutting-edge savings products tailored to the unique needs of customers.
