By Vriti Gothi

VoPay International, a global FinTech infrastructure platform, has established its global headquarters in Qatar, positioning Doha as the company’s central base for advancing digital financial infrastructure across multiple regions.

The move underscores Qatar’s growing role as a hub for cross-border financial coordination and digital infrastructure development, at a time when governments and financial institutions are accelerating efforts to modernise payment systems and improve interoperability between regional and global markets.

From its Doha headquarters, VoPay plans to support central banks, financial institutions, government entities and large enterprises in upgrading financial systems and connecting them to international financial networks. While Qatar will serve as the company’s primary coordination centre, VoPay said it will continue to serve clients and operations across North America, Europe and Latin America.

The company also announced plans to hire more than 400 professionals in Qatar over the next three years, spanning engineering, technology, cybersecurity, compliance, data and platform operations. The expansion is intended to support long-term infrastructure development rather than short-term market entry, reflecting a broader shift among FinTech infrastructure providers towards building regional bases aligned with regulatory and institutional ecosystems.

“Our decision to establish VoPay’s global headquarters in Qatar reflects a deep alignment with the country’s long-term vision for economic diversification and digital leadership,” said Hamed Arbabi, Founder and CEO of VoPay. “Qatar offers a unique platform for scaling financial infrastructure that connects regions, institutions, and markets.”

The decision aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030, which prioritises the development of a diversified, knowledge-based economy and positions technology-led industries as drivers of future growth. In recent years, the country has focused on attracting FinTech and financial infrastructure firms that can operate across borders while maintaining regulatory depth and institutional credibility.

By anchoring its global headquarters in Doha, VoPay aims to use Qatar as a strategic coordination point for scaling financial infrastructure initiatives across the Gulf, wider MENA region, Africa and Southeast Asia. The company’s platform combines established payment and financial technologies with applied artificial intelligence to enable institutions to operate across borders with greater efficiency and resilience.
