BKN301 and CWallet’s strategic partnership: Joining forces to empower the digital payment in Qatar and MENA Region

BKN301 Group, a Fintech company offering Innovative Payments and Banking- as-a-Service solutions with a focus on high-growth markets especially in the MENA area, continues its strategy development, fostering its growth in the Middle East, especially in Qatar, where it opened a new branch last July, that will help the company better serve the MENA region.

As part of this growth and as a result of the interest of fast growing countries in innovative payments and financial solutions, BKN301 signed a partnership with CWallet, an award winning Fintech startup, with Payment Service Provider (PSP) licensed from Qatar Central Bank committed in providing financial freedom and inclusion to a growing number of customers. Through this agreement BKN301 provides CWallet with a state-of-the-art platform that will improve the customer experience, increase security and respond to the ever-changing needs of people.

CWallet’s core business is focused on the development of remittance platforms, enabling digital cross-border money transfers and through the strategic partnership with BKN301, the company takes a significant leap forward in the products offered to its clients. Consequently, the clients will be able to monitor, manage and collect their payments, using an  innovative gateway, seamlessly integrated with the solutions offered by CWallet.

CWallet will integrate 301pay, BKN301’s payment gateway white-label model, designed to facilitate not only e-commerce development but also mobile payments in physical stores. With this new integration into CWallet, the advantages for affiliated Qatari merchants have significantly increased. On one hand, they will have access to manage transactions and have a complete view of business performance with statistics showing real-time collections, payments, refunds and aggregated data on sales volumes. On the other hand, they can receive payments not only through e-commerce but also through physical in- store transactions via the CWallet App, enabling customers to use their wallet for daily expenses and purchases. This completes CWallet’s value proposition to its users, expanding its reach in remittance payments and in facilitating payments through a digital wallet at affiliated merchants via the CWallet App.

According to the latest report by the Qatar Central Bank, the Fintech sector is expected to bring many tangible  benefits to the population and to the economy, as the industry is set to grow by 40 to 50 times the current size by 2027.
