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.
