MoneyHash and Tap Payments Partner to Streamline Payment Orchestration Across MENA
DUBAI, UAE — February 8, 2026 — MoneyHash and Tap Payments announced a strategic partnership and integration to deliver unified payment infrastructure across MENA. The collaboration integrates Tap’s gateway into MoneyHash’s orchestration platform, enabling merchants to manage diverse payment methods via a single control layer. This addresses fragmentation in the region’s booming digital commerce landscape.
Announcement Specifics
MoneyHash, a leading payment orchestration platform in emerging markets, has integrated Tap Payments’ services directly into its platform. This allows MENA merchants to extend payment method coverage through Tap—which serves over 120,000 businesses across nine markets—while using MoneyHash’s tools for routing, performance monitoring, and cost optimization.
No specific timelines or transaction volumes were disclosed.
Stakeholder Perspectives
“Payment flexibility is becoming essential as businesses operate across different markets and digital channels. Integrating Tap into our platform strengthens our ability to support merchants with reliable payment infrastructure that reflects how customers prefer to pay across the region.”
— Mohamed Amir, Head of Sales and Solutions at MoneyHash
Why it matters: This highlights orchestration’s role in adapting to MENA’s diverse payment preferences as merchants expand across borders.
“Our focus at Tap Payments is helping businesses run reliable payments across MENA, with local payment method coverage and the control teams need as they scale. Integrating with MoneyHash allows us to extend that value by supporting merchants with an orchestration layer that helps them scale payment operations across markets with confidence.”
— Anwar Marafi, Group Head of Business and Financial Institutions at Tap Payments
Why it matters: This underscores Tap’s expansion strategy via partnerships rather than solely direct merchant acquisition.
Industry Context
MENA’s e-commerce sector is experiencing rapid growth, but fragmented payments—with over 20 distinct payment methods across the region—challenge scalability for merchants. Orchestration platforms like MoneyHash address this by abstracting complexity and enabling merchants to manage multiple payment service providers through a single integration. Tap’s infrastructure complements this approach, supporting high transaction volumes with reliable local payment method coverage.
MoneyHash maintains active operations in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, bolstering regional fintech hubs like Riyadh and Dubai through strategic partnerships that enhance cross-border payment capabilities.
Conclusion
The integration positions both firms to capture expanding opportunities in MENA’s digital payments ecosystem, fostering resilient payment infrastructure with enhanced merchant control and local market relevance as the region’s digital commerce continues its growth trajectory.
