Tribe<\/a> Payments has opened a new office in Dubai to expand into the Middle East, reinforcing its commitment to empowering banks, FinTechs, and acquirers across Europe, Asia, and beyond.<\/p>\nFounded in London in 2018, Tribe Payments has grown to over 200 employees across Europe, with major technology hubs in Kaunas, Lithuania, and Singapore. The Dubai office, situated in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), follows the launch of Tribe\u2019s APAC headquarters in Singapore in 2024 and represents a significant step in the company\u2019s global growth strategy.<\/p>\n
Aurangzaib Khan, a veteran payments leader, will spearhead Tribe\u2019s Middle East operations as General Manager Middle East & Africa. Aurangzaib brings more than two decades of industry experience from roles at Amazon Payment Services, Mastercard, Visa, MCB Bank, and Bank Alfalah. He has notably led the launch of Bahrain\u2019s first open banking super-app, Beyon Money.<\/p>\n
Commenting on his new role, Aurangzaib<\/strong> said, \u201cI\u2019m eager to embark on this opportunity to drive innovation in the payments industry. It\u2019s hugely exciting to be entrusted to lead Tribe\u2019s operations in Dubai and the Middle East. The region aspires to be at the forefront of banking and payments technology, and Tribe\u2019s unique proposition means we are well positioned to enable banks to achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\nTribe Payments is Europe\u2019s only processor to work across Mastercard, Visa, American Express, UnionPay International, Discover, and JCB, delivering unparalleled global connectivity through a single integration. Its cloud-based, modular platform provides clients with scalability, flexibility, and future-ready solutions that support the region\u2019s rapidly evolving payments ecosystem.<\/p>\n
Andrew Hocking, CEO of Tribe Payments<\/strong>, said, \u201cHaving lived and worked in the UAE for many years prior to joining Tribe Payments, the country is the clear beating heart of the Middle Eastern FinTech scene. I also know firsthand the importance of being on-site; this shows a real sense of commitment from Tribe to the region. It\u2019s great to have Aurangzaib on board at Tribe. His leadership and payments knowledge \u2013 both at a regional and global level \u2013 will be invaluable to Tribe as we embark on our next strategic expansion. We\u2019ve learned a lot from our first 12 months in Singapore, and we\u2019re excited to spread our wings to a new region. We look forward to both maintaining and cultivating brand new partnerships in the Middle East, and to showcase how our cloud-based, modular platform empowers our users with unparalleled scalability and flexibility.\u201d<\/p>\nThe opening of the Dubai office reflects Tribe Payments\u2019 commitment to supporting the Middle East\u2019s digital transformation and advancing innovative, customer-centric payment solutions across the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35851,"featured_media":570334,"parent":0,"template":"","categories":[11395,11381,41779,11382,11368,11375,11376,42764,11384,11397],"tags":[12663,11500,11668,11649,12004,11438,11409,12477,12472,11769,11549,11515,11418,12123,12428,11406],"class_list":["post-570333","ibsi_news","type-ibsi_news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics","category-artificial-intelligence","category-banktech","category-cloud","category-core-banking","category-cybersecurity","category-digital-banking","category-digital-payments","category-payments","category-saas","tag-ai","tag-compliance","tag-cross-border-payments","tag-digital-banking","tag-digital-lending","tag-digital-payments","tag-digital-transformation","tag-dubai","tag-financial-inclusion","tag-financial-institutions","tag-financial-services","tag-fintech","tag-instant-payments","tag-online-payments","tag-uae","tag-uk"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
