Tap Payments, a Kuwait-founded payment institution and technology infrastructure provider, has been named Best Payments Solution by the MENA Fintech Association at Abu Dhabi Finance Week. The recognition highlights the company’s continued growth, regional expansion, and sustained investment in compliant, locally built payment infrastructure tailored for businesses across the Middle East and North Africa.
The award reflects Tap Payments’ focus on developing reliable payment capabilities designed around local regulations, regional payment methods, and real operating conditions in MENA markets. Over the years, the company has evolved from a domestic Kuwaiti fintech into a regional payments infrastructure provider supporting merchants and enterprises at scale.
Tap Payments currently operates as a licensed payment provider in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman, underscoring its long-term commitment to regulatory compliance across the GCC. This regulatory footprint enables businesses to operate across markets without added operational complexity.
Ali Abulhasan, Co-Founder and CEO of Tap Payments, said the recognition reflects the team’s ongoing efforts to build trusted, adaptable, and future-ready payment infrastructure that supports merchants’ needs and sustainable growth across the region.
Looking ahead, Tap Payments said it will continue strengthening regional payment infrastructure as digital commerce accelerates across MENA, while maintaining its focus on compliance, scalability, and locally relevant product development.
