VoPay establishes global headquarters in Qatar

Doha, Qatar: VoPay International Inc., a global fintech infrastructure platform, yesterday 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. As part of this expansion, VoPay plans to hire more than 400 professionals in Qatar over the next three years across engineering, technology, security, compliance, data, and platform operations, reinforcing the country’s role as a long-term center for financial infrastructure development.

“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.”

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 H H 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.

VoPay’s expansion into Qatar has been supported by Invest Qatar, whose leadership and engagement played a meaningful role in facilitating the company’s decision to establish its global headquarters in Doha. Through strategic dialogue and ongoing collaboration, Invest Qatar has supported VoPay’s market entry and long-term growth strategy aligned with Qatar’s national economic priorities.

Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al-Thani, CEO, Invest Qatar, said: “We are pleased to welcome VoPay to Qatar as it establishes its global headquarters and expands its international footprint. This investment reinforces our commitment to building a diversified, knowledge-based economy and positioning Qatar as a leading hub for advanced financial technologies. Through strategic partnerships and a supportive regulatory environment, Qatar continues to attract companies that are shaping the future of financial technology.”
