MoneyHash and Tabby Boost BNPL Accessibility for UAE and Saudi Merchants

MoneyHash has joined forces with Tabby, the Saudi Arabia–based financial app, to make buy now, pay later (BNPL) options more accessible for online merchants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The move looks set to speed up how e-commerce businesses in the region let customers spread their payments—a trend that’s been catching fire lately, especially among younger shoppers who like convenience but aren’t keen on credit cards.

Through a single integration with MoneyHash’s unified API, merchants can now activate Tabby’s interest‑free instalment options right at checkout. In plain terms, it’s one connection that opens the door to flexible BNPL payments, without the faff of long development work. The result? Quicker launches, smoother shopping journeys and, hopefully, fewer abandoned carts.

Mohmad Amir, Head of Sales & Solutions at MoneyHash, explained that many businesses are scrambling to meet consumers’ appetite for frictionless payments. He said the Tabby partnership “makes it remarkably simple for businesses to embed BNPL into their payment stack, unlocking new revenue opportunities and meeting customer expectations.”

I’ve seen first-hand, through Arageek’s community events with startups, how tricky the payments landscape can be—especially when founders are juggling multiple gateways, compliance hoops and customer preferences all at once. This kind of orchestration approach definitely helps tidy things up.

Zain Khan, Senior Director of Business Development at Tabby, pointed out that the new tie‑up not only strengthens the digital economy but also encourages merchants to adopt flexible options faster. “Together, we’re empowering merchants to meet customer demand for flexible payments while driving long-term growth,” he said.

That said, BNPL still raises eyebrows in some corners, given worries about consumer debt and overspending. Yet I reckon partnerships like this show how the industry is maturing—more collaborative and mindful of financial inclusion in the region. Also, it’s quite telling how the Middle East is rapidly becoming a hotspot for fintech innovation.

And believe it or not, for many small online shops, adding BNPL could mean the difference between a sale and another cart left hanging. Not a bad outcome if it helps both the merchant and the shopper sleep better at night… even if managing multiple payment partners can be a bit of a faff sometimes.

All in all, this move puts MoneyHash and Tabby in a spot‑on position to capture the rising tide of digital payments across the MEA region. I’m definatly keeping an eye on how quickly merchants take it up.
