Dubai, UAE – March 17, 2025: Checkout.com, a leading global digital payments solutions provider, has partnered with Tabby, the financial services and shopping app, to offer flexible and high-performing payment solutions to merchants in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. This partnership integrates Tabby’s popular BNPL solutions directly into Checkout.com’s platform, allowing merchants to offer consumers seamless, flexible payment methods at checkout.
As part of the agreement, Checkout.com has already integrated Tabby’s innovative BNPL solutions into its platform, offering merchants flexible, consumer-friendly payment options. This integration allows Checkout.com’s merchants to capitalize on the growing demand for alternative payment methods, boosting sales, conversion rates, and average order values. By offering greater flexibility at the point of purchase, the collaboration aims to enhance the shopping experience, foster consumer loyalty, and drive business growth.
The partnership comes as the BNPL market in the Middle East continues to experience rapid growth, with adoption rates reaching up to 62% 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.
By combining Checkout.com’s cutting-edge payment technology with Tabby’s flexible 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.
