Eazy Financial Services has signed a strategic partnership with Tamara to become the regional fintech’s official local acquirer in Bahrain, strengthening Bahrain’s position as a key payments enabler in the Gulf’s rapidly expanding Buy Now, Pay Later sector.

Announced during a signing ceremony on Wednesday, the deal will see EazyPay provide Tamara with secure payment gateway services to process transactions across its growing network of merchants and customers in the GCC.

Fintech synergy

Nayef Tawfiq Al Alawi, Founder and CEO of EazyPay, said the partnership reflects the value of fintech collaboration in creating faster and more reliable payment experiences.

“Tamara has rapidly become a key player in how consumers across the region choose to pay, particularly with the rise of BNPL models. By supporting their platform with our payment gateway services, we’re enabling a smoother, faster, and more reliable experience for merchants and customers alike,” he said.

The collaboration is also seen as an example of how homegrown Bahraini fintech infrastructure is powering cross-border solutions in the region.

Faris Al-Obaid, CEO and Vice Chairman of Tamara Bahrain B.S.C., described the partnership as a pivotal step in Tamara’s MENA growth ambitions.

“EazyPay, a leader in payment solutions, will not only serve as our local acquirer but also as a key strategic partner for our growing operations in Bahrain,” he said. “We are confident that EazyPay’s local expertise and strong infrastructure will help us achieve our shared goals and promote financial inclusivity in the Kingdom.”

Digital momentum

The agreement reflects EazyPay’s continued push to strengthen the regional digital payments ecosystem by forging strategic fintech alliances.

By combining Tamara’s consumer-facing BNPL model with EazyPay’s backend infrastructure, both firms aim to create a more seamless commerce experience for businesses and shoppers across the Gulf.

The story of this deal underscores Bahrain’s emerging role in the region’s next phase of digital financial growth.
