Bahrain- February 25, 2021:

stc Bahrain, a digital enabler and Arab Financial Services (AFS), MEA region’s digital payments and financial technology solutions provider, have partnered to launch FinTech payment solutions for both retail SMEs and customers across the Kingdom of Bahrain. The partnership will see stc Bahrain leverage AFS’ VAT-enabled payment tools to roll out all-in-one fully integrated stc Tajer point-of-sale (PoS) solution.

Powered by AFS, the PoS solution provides the flexibility to process payments, print receipts, accept online orders while lowering infrastructure investments, minimizing human errors and making transaction easier.

The partnership expands the stc pay network, with AFS said to be becoming the first acquirer in Bahrain to offer stc pay acceptance across their network of smart Android-based, integrated PoS (point-of-sale) terminals. Merchants will now be enabled with QR contactless payments and added to the stc pay portfolio.

With a VAT-enabled integrated payment solution developed by AFS, stc Bahrain will be supporting retail companies, pharmacies, restaurants, cafes, salons, gyms with the PoS solution, and would streamline the financial transaction processes into one system.
