Our Mission

Our BayPay Forum Middle East Chapter represents the broader Middle East region. We believe that the Middle East’s fintech ecosystem can benefit from a forum that brings the fintech founders and entrepreneurs, regulators, investors, and established banks and financial services entities together.

With so much activity in the fintech space, and so much interest in collaboration from banks, we believe it is the right time to bring to the Middle East Baypay Forum’s role as a facilitator of networking and knowledge sharing among industry executives, fintech entrepreneurs, and industry regulators.

We will leverage Baypay Forum’s large and growing global community of payments, commerce, fintech entrepreneurs, and executives to create a value-adding network of startup founders and executives who are focused on innovation and collaboration. Whether social mixers, throughout leadership fireside chats, or content events, regular community events, we plan to merge a unique combination of global fintech knowledge and networking with the growing regional activity.
