Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: PayTabs Group, the leading award-winning payment orchestration powerhouse, announced the full acquisition of TAPn’GO technology, one of the UAE’s leading contactless payment capabilities, to enhance checkout experiences for businesses across MENA.

Through this acquisition, TAPn’GO will become part of PayTabs Super App, enabling faster, real-time, contactless checkouts for businesses across various industries, including retail, hospitality, healthcare, entertainment, and regulated donation platforms, the group revealed in a press release today.

With this versatile and dynamic move, TAPn’GO as a PayTabs Group’s proprietary technology, will contribute significantly to the region's ongoing digital disruption, a win-win for all stakeholders involved.”

TAPn’GO helps businesses simplify checkout, reduce wait times, and enhance customer satisfaction through intuitive features such as bill splitting, tipping, and paperless receipts.
