MoneyHash, a leading payment orchestration platform for emerging markets, has announced a strategic partnership with Thawani Pay to expand its operations in Oman. This collaboration integrates Thawani Pay, the first fintech company licensed by the Central Bank of Oman, into MoneyHash's extensive network. The move is set to provide merchants with seamless access to Oman's burgeoning digital payment ecosystem through a single, unified infrastructure, simplifying regional expansion for businesses.
Strategic Expansion into Oman's Digital Economy
The partnership enables businesses to leverage Thawani Pay's robust local payment solutions through MoneyHash's advanced orchestration layer. This allows merchants to operate effectively within Oman while maintaining consistent payment operations across their entire regional footprint. Consequently, companies can access local payment gateways without the need to rebuild complex payment logic for each new market they enter, accelerating their time to market.
Founded in 2021, MoneyHash has rapidly expanded its influence after securing $5.2 million in a pre-Series A funding round last year. The company has already established key partnerships in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Iraq, and Bahrain, making this Omani expansion a logical next step. This strategic growth underscores MoneyHash's commitment to building a comprehensive payment operating system for the Middle East and beyond.
Unifying Payments Through Advanced Orchestration
At the heart of this collaboration is MoneyHash’s sophisticated orchestration technology, which simplifies managing multiple payment providers and optimizing transaction routing. Nader Abdelrazik, Co-Founder and CEO of MoneyHash, stated that scaling is about building adaptable systems, not just adding more providers. This philosophy drives the platform's ability to reduce complexity while enhancing control and visibility for its enterprise clients across all markets.
By centralizing payment infrastructure, MoneyHash empowers businesses to redirect their focus from technical maintenance to core growth initiatives. The integration with Thawani Pay ensures that merchants operating in Oman experience the same level of performance and reliability they have elsewhere. This unified approach is crucial for companies looking to scale efficiently across diverse and fast-growing digital economies with minimal operational friction.
Leveraging Trusted Local Infrastructure
Thawani Pay has been a pivotal player in Oman's digital transformation since its establishment in 2016. As a regulated entity under the Central Bank of Oman, it provides secure and user-friendly solutions that align with the country's Oman Vision 2040 goals. The company’s PCI DSS certification further reinforces its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of payment data security for merchants and consumers.
Majid Al Amri, Founder and CEO of Thawani Pay, emphasized the goal of making digital payments more accessible and reliable for all users. Through this partnership, merchants can utilize Thawani's extensive capabilities, including bill payments and government service transactions. This provides businesses entering Oman with a strong and flexible foundation for sustainable growth within the local market, backed by trusted technology.
This strategic alliance between MoneyHash and Thawani Pay marks a significant milestone for the digital payments landscape in Oman and the broader region. It combines MoneyHash's global orchestration expertise with Thawani Pay's deep local market knowledge and trusted infrastructure. Ultimately, the partnership equips businesses with the scalable, secure, and unified payment solutions necessary to navigate and succeed in rapidly evolving emerging markets.
