VoPay Establishes Global Headquarters in Qatar to Advance Digital Financial Infrastructure Across MENA, Africa, and Southeast Asia

DOHA, Qatar & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VoPay International Inc., a global fintech infrastructure platform, today announced the establishment of its global headquarters in Qatar. The move positions Qatar as VoPay’s primary hub for advancing digital financial infrastructure and supporting scalable financial modernization across the Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other high-growth regions, while continuing to serve the company’s operations across North America, Europe, and Latin America.

From its Doha headquarters, VoPay will expand and operate foundational financial infrastructure that supports central banks, financial institutions, government and public-sector entities, and large enterprises in modernizing financial systems and connecting regional markets to global financial 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. With the support of Invest Qatar and the Qatar Financial Centre, we are investing for the long term by building world-class talent and advancing financial infrastructure that operates across borders with scale, intelligence, and resilience.”

Aligning with Qatar’s Long-Term National Vision

VoPay’s global headquarters decision aligns with Qatar’s emergence as a platform for innovation and digital transformation, shaped by the country’s long-term national vision under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar. As articulated in Qatar National Vision 2030, “the Qatar National Vision 2030 builds a bridge between the present and the future,” a direction that continues to support the development of a diversified, knowledge-based economy with global reach and creates an environment where technology companies can scale internationally while operating from the region.
