Licensed Infrastructure Meets Payment Orchestration Across MENA
A partnership built for the realities of MENA regulation and multi-market growth.
Tap Payments signed a partnership with MoneyHash, a payment orchestration platform supporting businesses operating across multiple markets.
The partnership brings together Tap Payments’ locally licensed payment infrastructure, built to meet regulatory requirements across MENA, with MoneyHash’s orchestration layer to support merchants operating across multiple digital channels and regional markets.
As businesses across the Middle East and North Africa continue to expand their online and multi-channel presence, managing payments reliably across different markets has become a core operational challenge. This collaboration is designed to help address that challenge with infrastructure built for the realities of the region.
Meet MoneyHash
MoneyHash is a payment orchestration platform built for multi-market operations. It connects multiple payment gateways through one API and controls routing and performance from a single layer that sits between merchants and their existing payment stack.
In MENA, payment operations depend on licensed local infrastructure. This partnership with Tap Payments expands MoneyHash’s regional coverage and local payment access for its merchants.
What This Partnership Means for Businesses
MENA is not one payment market. Each country operates under its own regulations, licenses, and domestic payment rails. What works in one market rarely transfers to another.
Without licensed local infrastructure, businesses face restricted payment methods, delayed settlements, and regulatory risk. As expansion accelerates, payment operations often fragment.
This partnership combines Tap Payments’ licensed infrastructure across nine MENA markets with MoneyHash’s orchestration layer, giving merchants regulated local access with centralized routing and performance control.
Local compliance with centralized control, without rebuilding infrastructure in every country.
Reflecting on the partnership, Anwar Marafi, Group Head of Business and Financial Institutions at Tap Payments, said:
“Our focus at Tap Payments is helping businesses run reliable payment operations across MENA, with the local payment coverage and regulatory foundations each market requires. Working with MoneyHash allows us to extend that value by supporting merchants with an orchestration layer that helps them manage complexity and scale with confidence.”
Mohamed Amir, Head of Sales and Solutions at MoneyHash, added:
“Payment flexibility is becoming essential as businesses operate across multiple markets and digital channels. Partnering with Tap Payments strengthens our ability to support merchants with infrastructure that reflects how customers prefer to pay across the region.”
Building Payment Infrastructure for How MENA Actually Works
Payments in MENA do not fail because of technology. They fail when systems are built without local licensing, settlement rules, and customer payment behavior in mind.
This partnership is based on a simple idea. Payment infrastructure has to match how markets in MENA are regulated and how customers pay. Local rules cannot be treated as an afterthought, and scale cannot be built on disconnected systems.
By combining Tap Payments’ licensed regional infrastructure with MoneyHash’s orchestration layer, businesses can run payment operations that are both market-ready and built to grow. The goal is not just broader coverage, but payment systems that remain stable and manageable as businesses expand across the region.
