Dubai-based buy now, pay later provider Tabby has teamed up with Visa to launch a virtual card. The card, created with the help of API infrastructure company M2P Fintech, is designed to make in-store payments easier for shoppers. Users can activate the card for free using the Tabby app, add it to their preferred digital wallets and tap the payment terminal at checkout to divide their payments into instalments. “Despite e-commerce growing in popularity, almost 90% of retail shopping in the Middle East still happens offline,” Tabby Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Daniil Barkalov, said in the announcement. “At Tabby, we set out to create rewarding shopping experiences wherever customers purchase. The Tabby Card will take our in-store solution to new heights, creating a truly seamless omni-channel experience for customers to pay over time, interest-free.”
