Ora Developers signs MoU with Yubi to streamline UAE mortgage financing
Ora Developers has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Yubi, introducing an AI-driven mortgage platform that pulls competitive proposals from more than 25 UAE banks in minutes. For sales teams and project executives, this means fewer manual touchpoints, faster pre-approvals, and a cleaner handover from reservation to transfer.
The move shifts mortgage financing from manual, siloed processes to a single, smart interface that prioritizes speed, clarity, and lender fit. It's a practical upgrade for anyone responsible for sales velocity, collections, or buyer experience.
What's changing for real estate teams
- Single digital funnel: One interface to source mortgage options across 25+ lenders, reducing back-and-forth and duplicate applications.
- AI matchmaking: The platform fits customer profiles to specific bank mandates, improving first-pass approval rates and cutting delays.
- Instant pre-approvals: Automated document checks and lender selection compress timelines that usually stall conversions.
- End-to-end digital concierge: From pre-eligibility to disbursal, buyers get visibility into schedules and documents, and teams get a reliable audit trail.
How Yubi Mortgage supports Ora's buyers
- AI-Powered Precision & Smart Matchmaking to reduce guesswork and increase approvals.
- Instant Pre-approval by automating verification and lender allocation.
- End-to-End Digital Concierge covering assessments, documentation, and final disbursement.
Mohamed Sheta, Group CFO of Ora Developers, said: "This strategic partnership strengthens our value proposition by offering our customers a more holistic and seamless home-buying experience. By collaborating with Yubi MENA, we are enabling greater accessibility to home financing while maintaining the highest standards of transparency and service excellence."
Gaurav Kumar, CEO of Yubi Group, added: "We are proud to partner with Ora, a brand synonymous with quality and trust in the real estate sector. As we deepen our routes to strengthen the debt lifecycle infrastructure Lenders use across the Middle East and Africa, our objective through this partnership is to simplify mortgage financing by supporting mortgage seekers with increased accessibility, transparency, and decision-making power to ensure a smooth and efficient path to homeownership."
Why this matters to developers, brokers, and lenders
- Shorter cycles: Faster pre-approval shrinks reservation-to-Oqood/transfer timelines.
- Higher conversions: Better lender fit means fewer declines and fewer fall-throughs.
- Affordability clarity: Matching risk profiles to lender criteria supports realistic payment plans and reduces rework.
- Operational hygiene: Standardized document flows and digital records help with compliance and audit readiness.
- Market liquidity: Smoother approvals support healthier financing activity across the UAE market.
Practical next steps for sales and project teams
- Embed the Yubi flow in your booking script and CRM so buyers start financing early.
- Use a single document checklist across all projects to cut re-requests.
- Track three metrics: time to pre-approval, approval rate, and fall-through rate post-reservation.
- Align off-plan payment schedules with typical lender criteria to reduce exceptions at disbursal.
- Run a short enablement session for brokers and sales advisors so they can position financing with confidence.
