Distribution & Sales Established Acquired

Overview

YallaCompare is an insurance and financial products comparison platform serving consumers across the Middle East and North Africa region. Founded in 2011 in the UAE as compareit4me.com, the company allows users to compare and purchase health, car, home, and travel insurance policies from multiple carriers, as well as financial products such as credit cards, bank accounts, personal loans, and mortgages, across nine markets.

The platform operates via a consumer-facing website and partner API integrations. Insurance and financial product data from regional carriers and financial institutions is aggregated and presented in a standardized comparison format, enabling direct purchase with immediate policy documentation. The company holds approximately 76% market share of online insurance sales across GCC countries and reports over 6 million unique online users annually.

In August 2024, YallaCompare was acquired by COMIN Insurance, forming a combined entity that operates across six countries in the MENA region. The company has raised over USD 21 million across multiple funding rounds from investors including STC Ventures, Wamda Capital, and Gulf Insurance Group.
