Mr Ali Abulhasan | Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer
Tap Payments

Ali founded Tap Payments in 2014 to solve online payment problems in Kuwait & the region. He started his career within payments in the oil & gas sector and then further developed his passion for payments while working with banks & financial institutions. Later, he got more involved with the telecom industry, which helped him become consumer-centric & technology-driven with innovative forms of payment experiences.

As the CEO of Tap Payments, he has played a major role in disrupting the fintech industry within the region. Tap unified the fragmented payment landscape in the region by developing a single API for all the payment methods that are highly adopted by consumers within the region

Tap enabled organizations to accept & collect online payments with an API that has standardized local and international payments schemes, gateways, and switches from the complex integrations of the pre-Tap era, which took weeks & months, to the post-Tap era of hours and days. Today Tap serves over 50,000 businesses of all sizes, from small home businesses all the way to large corporations across various industries such as Retail, Food, Insurance, Airlines, Telecom, and many others, with an automated merchant onboarding flow.
