Checkout.com, the global digital payments solutions provider, is partnering with Tabby, the Saudi-based financial services provider, to offer flexible payment solutions to merchants in the Middle East.
Through the new partnership, Checkout.com integrated BNPL solutions from Tabby into its platform, enabling merchants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia to offer consumers seamless, flexible payment methods at checkout.
Checkout.com says the integration enables merchants to capitalise on the growing demand for alternative payment methods, boosting sales, conversion rates, and average order values.
The partnership comes as the BNPL market in the Middle East continues to experience rapid growth, with adoption rates reaching up to 62 per cent over the past 12 months, according to Checkout.com’s latest Digital Commerce Report. This surge is driven by increasing consumer demand for flexible payment and credit solutions.
Abdulaziz Saja, KSA general manager at Tabby, says: “By partnering with Checkout.com, we’re bringing Tabby’s flexible payments to even more merchants. This gives Checkout.com’s businesses access to Tabby’s over 15 million high-intent shoppers while offering their customers greater flexibility at checkout.”
By combining Checkout.com’s payment technology with Tabby’s financing solutions, this partnership creates a powerful ecosystem that enhances payment performance and enables merchants to grow their businesses by offering consumers their preferred payment methods.
Capitalising on BNPL growth
“We are excited to partner with Tabby to empower merchants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia with more payment options for their customers,” Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo, general manager MENA, Checkout.com also added. “At Checkout.com, we believe in the strategic value of payments in increasing revenue for our merchants through high-performance payments, and this partnership reinforces our commitment to delivering solutions that drive business growth and enhance customer experiences.
“In the past 12 months, the popularity of BNPL remained a preferred payment method for online shoppers in the UAE and KSA with adoption rates reaching 39 per cent and 42 per cent respectively. This highlights the region’s growing demand for flexible payment options. Moreover, with an 80 per cent increase in daily online shopping since 2020, consumers are eager to adopt new payment solutions.
“By integrating Tabby’s BNPL services into a single platform, we enable merchants to seamlessly offer flexible payment options with quick and efficient integration. This not only enhances the consumer experience but also drives higher conversion rates and customer satisfaction—creating real added value for everyone involved.”
