Lendo

Lendo (شركة ليندو السعودية للتمويل) is a Riyadh-based Saudi fintech licensed by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA, License No. 61/A SH/202203, capital SAR 50M) that operates the Kingdom's first SAMA-licensed Sharia-compliant debt-based crowdfunding platform. Lendo connects small and medium enterprises needing liquidity with retail and institutional investors, offering invoice financing, working capital financing, purchase-order financing and term loans funded within 48 hours of document completion, alongside government-backed programs with Monshaat, SME Bank, the Tourism Development Fund, the Cultural Development Fund, Modon and the Kafala guarantee scheme. On the investor side it runs tiered retail products (Basic, Premium, High Net Worth), an auto-invest engine and an A-D credit scoring engine, reporting SAR 4.5B+ in cumulative financing across 10,000+ funded deals at a 2.93% overall default rate. Lendo publishes no public developer program, API documentation or SDKs; its production API host is authentication-gated and its machine-readable public surface is limited to an llms.txt and a SafeBase-hosted trust center.

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Lendo the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts across 1 API, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Lendo scores 26.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 8/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Lendo

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Lendo. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

APIs 1

Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.

Individual APIs this provider publishes, each with its own machine-readable definition.

Production API host backing the Lendo web and mobile applications. Discovered by probe at https://api.lendo.sa - it is live and returns a structured bilingual (Arabic/English) J...

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
