Riyadh, July 2, 2025 :
– PetroApp, the leading independent platform for digital fuel payments, fleet management, and vehicle services, today announced the successful closing of a $50 million investment round led by Jadwa Investment through its GCC Diversified Private Equity Fund, with participation from Bunat Ventures.
Founded in 2018, PetroApp is Saudi Arabia’s first standalone provider of cashless fuel payment and fleet management solutions, eliminating cash transactions, reducing fraud risk, and delivering real-time cost control for corporate and government fleets. The platform has since expanded to offer ancillary services; including car washes, oil changes, and tire & battery replacements, and continues to enhance its product suite with artificial intelligence to boost operational efficiency and enable predictive maintenance.
Today, PetroApp serves more than 500,000 vehicles globally on behalf of over 10,000 corporate and governmental clients, operating through a network of 5,000 fuel stations across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Thailand, and Nigeria. The company projects revenues exceeding SAR 10 billion in 2025, underscoring its commitment to pioneering technologies that reduce costs, optimize operations, and drive digital transformation in transportation and logistics.
This latest financing milestone will enable PetroApp to prepare for an initial public offering on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul), accelerate its expansion into new international markets while solidifying its presence in existing ones, broaden its offerings to the retail and government sectors, having been appointed as an approved service provider by the Saudi Authority for Government Procurement and Expenditure Efficiency and launch new, integrated vehicle management services powered by AI-driven analytics.
