AFS Partners with Tabby to Introduce Flexible Payments for UAE Merchants

The integration gives customers more control over their finances by letting customers spread the cost of their purchases, while enabling merchants to grow their sales and basket sizes with flexible payments.

Arab Financial Services (AFS) , the Middle East and Africa’s leading digital payments solutions provider and fintech enabler, has partnered with Tabby,  the financial services app, to enable AFS merchants in the United Arab Emirates to offer customers greater flexibility when paying for their purchases through AFS point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

The integration gives customers more control over their finances by letting customers spread the cost of their purchases, while enabling merchants to grow their sales and basket sizes with flexible payments.

The partnership reflects AFS’s continued focus on expanding the capabilities available to its merchant network and responding to evolving consumer expectations regarding convenience and flexibility. By integrating Tabby’s flexible payment offering into the in-store payment experience, AFS is helping merchants provide customers with additional ways to pay without adding complexity to the checkout process.

Mahmoud Ismail, Group Head of Acquiring Products said: “Consumers increasingly demand greater choice and flexibility in how they pay, and merchants need payment solutions that allow them to respond to these expectations in a straightforward manner. Our partnership with Tabby brings flexible payment options directly to the AFS POS experience, giving merchants another way to serve their customers while maintaining a simple and seamless checkout journey.”

“Partnering with AFS puts flexible payments right where customers are ready to buy, at the register. It’s another step in bringing customers the same control over how they pay in-store as they already have online, and this partnership extends that to more merchants across the UAE.”

– Zarik Nabi, Chief Commercial Officer, Tabby 

The service is currently available to AFS merchants in the UAE, with plans to extend the capability to other AFS operating markets. The partnership forms part of AFS’s broader commitment to enhancing merchant acquiring capabilities and delivering payment solutions that support businesses and their customers across the region.
