On this occasion, Khalid Saad, CEO of Bahrain FinTech Bay said, “We are excited about the partnership with Visa, the world’s leading payments technology company. As Bahrain and the region’s FinTech ecosystem continues to develop coupled with Bahrain FinTech Bay’s deepening connections to global centers of fintech innovation, the partnership with Visa will be instrumental in furthering this development”.
