Warply and Mastercard Forge Strategic Alliance for Digital Transformation in MENA Fintech Innovation

Warply, a leading fintech innovator, growing fast in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Mastercard, a global technology company in the payments industry. This strategic alliance builds on their existing relationship in various parts of the world via Start Path, Mastercard’s award-winning global fintech enablement program.

The collaboration is set to fuel digital transformation across diverse sectors and key markets in the MENA region, including Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, the UAE, and Pakistan. Under the terms of the MOU, the industry leaders will co-create innovative solutions tailored for government entities, large merchants, and banks.

In line with the ambitions of the two parties to meet the wide-ranging needs of merchants, the collaboration will introduce attractive card-linked offers and provide seamless redemption experiences over point-of-sale (POS) and ePOS systems.

We are delighted to join forces with Warply, a company that shares our vision for a connected, inclusive future and understands the unique demands and opportunities of the MENA market. Warply’s success speaks to the power of Mastercard’s award-winning Start Path program, and we look forward to deepening our relationship as we further fuel digital transformation across the markets we serve.
