Local fintech introduces ‘Terminal’, expanding its payments acceptance offering
A Doha-based fintech has announced ‘Dibsy Terminal’ during Web Summit Qatar 2026, expanding the company’s payments acceptance offering and strengthening its unified commerce proposition.
Speaking to Gulf Times on the sidelines of the event, Dibsy CEO and co-founder Loyan Farah said the launch enables merchants to accept in-person payments while managing both physical and online transactions through a single, unified platform.
He explained that Dibsy Terminal operates through a single API, addressing long-standing challenges around fragmented reporting, reconciliation complexity, and disconnected payment tools. Merchants can manage transactions across channels, oversee multiple locations, and issue refunds from a unified dashboard — simplifying operations and improving financial visibility.
"Merchants no longer need separate solutions for in-person and online payments. Everything is managed through one unified platform, giving businesses better control and a clearer view of their payment activity,” Farah explained.
Designed to support a wide range of business models, Farah further explained that Dibsy Terminal offers competitive pricing, local support, and high flexibility. The solution enables flexible and customised payment experiences through Dibsy SoftPOS SDKs, allowing businesses to tailor in-person payment flows to their specific operational needs.
"The introduction of Dibsy Terminal aligns with Qatar’s broader digitisation efforts and supports the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030, while also contributing to growth ambitions across priority sectors outlined in the Qatar Central Bank’s strategy,” Farah emphasised.
He said Dibsy Terminal was unveiled on the first day of Web Summit Qatar 2026 and will initially be rolled out across the company’s existing merchant network, with broader availability planned in subsequent phases.
"With this launch, Dibsy continues to expand its payments acceptance offering — evolving beyond an enabler-only mindset to deliver a more complete and differentiated payment experience for businesses operating across both physical and online channels,” Farah added.
