Qatar-based fintech startup Dibsy has raised $300,000 in a pre-Seed funding round to transform payment transactions across Middle East and Arabian region.
Founded by Ahmed Isse, Loyan Farah, and Anouar El Mekki in 2020, the startup provides a platform that allows online and offline businesses to accept multiple types of online payment.

It is said to offer ‘affordable, straightforward onboarding and fast integration with simple APIs’, enabling businesses to accept payments via their website, apps, or messaging platforms.
According to Dibsy, this technology will particularly benefit merchants who have not shifted their business to the digital space as it enables them to use SMS, WhatsApp, email, or social media platforms to send out payment links to customers.
According to El Mekki, this tool will have an easy integration for online checkouts.
Dibsy will use the new capital to bolster its team and grow its market share in Qatar.
