About the company
Mint Souq is the Middle East's first AI-native classifieds platform, owned and operated by Mint Capital Investment LLC, an investment firm registered in Dubai. The platform launched in 2026 with coverage across 15 countries and 137 cities.
What sets Mint Souq apart from existing players: every listing is backed by multi-layer identity verification (email, phone, government ID), high-value transactions are routed through a regulated escrow account held by Mint Capital, and search is conversational — buyers type or speak full sentences instead of filling out filter forms.

What Mint Souq is and isn't
What it is: A peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling new and used items, vehicles, property, and services across the Middle East. An identity-verified, escrow-protected alternative to the dominant local classifieds.
What it isn't: A first-party retailer (we don't hold inventory). A wallet or fintech (we don't offer banking products to consumers). An ad network (we don't sell user data or run third-party tracking).
