UAE-based Dubizzle Group has announced a strategic partnership and investment in UAE proptech startup Tern.

The platform will be integrated exclusively into Bayut and dubizzle.

Founded in 2024 by Said Al Sayyed and Mohamad Shaitou, Tern is the UAE's first rental rewards platform, allowing tenants to pay rent by credit card and earn loyalty points at no additional cost.

Dubizzle, founded in 2005 by J.C. Butler and Sim Whatley, is an online platform that enables individuals to sell, buy, or find products in their cities.

The investment was made through Dubizzle Group Ventures, the company's venture capital arm focused on early-stage GCC technology startups.
