Published

on

DUBLIN, Feb. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The “UAE Buy Now Pay Later Business and Investment Opportunities Databook – 75+ KPIs on BNPL Market Size, End-Use Sectors, Market Share, Product Analysis, Business Model, Demographics – Q1 2024 Update” report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

BNPL payments in the country are expected to grow by 16.6% on an annual basis to reach US$3.04 billion in 2024.

The medium to long-term growth story of the BNPL industry in the country remains strong. BNPL payment adoption is expected to grow steadily over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 10.8% during 2024-2029. The BNPL gross merchandise value in the country will increase from US$2.60 billion in 2023 to reach US$5.07 billion by 2029.

This report provides a detailed data-centric analysis of the Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) industry, covering market opportunities and risks across a range of retail categories. With over 75 KPIs at the country level, this report provides a comprehensive understanding of BNPL market dynamics, market size and forecast, and market share statistics.

The buy now pay later market is expected to grow at a steady pace over the medium term in the United Arab Emirates. The rising uptake of the payment method among shoppers, coupled with new entrants in the sector, will support the growth trajectory of the market in 2024. Existing BNPL providers are also raising funding rounds from venture capital and private equity firms.

With the market poised for growth over the next three to four years, authorities have been looking to regulate the unregulated sector. In the Emirates, the central bank has issued new guidelines for BNPL firms, requiring them to get licensed to operate in the market. The guidelines, coupled with the rising adoption, are projected to support sustainable industry growth over the next three to four years.

Firms are raising debt and equity rounds to further scale their product offering in the region

The demand for payment solutions like BNPL is poised to grow further in 2024. Consequently, to better serve consumer demand, firms are raising capital through debt and equity rounds in the Emirates.

Tabby, one of the leading UAE-based BNPL firms, announced that the firm had secured US$700 million in debt financing from JPMorgan, while also extending its Series D round to US$250 million in November 2023. The capital round further strengthens the position of Tabby in the domestic and regional markets, where it manages more than US$6 billion in annualized transaction volume. Tabby, notably, serves more than 10 million users and has partnered with over 30,000 brands.

The firm has been innovating with its product lineup, as it seeks to better meet the evolving needs of its users. Tabby, in 2023, launched Tabby Shop offering more than 500,000 products from thousands of brands. Tabby Card is also picking up pace, with transactions reaching more than 20% of the total volumes. To widen the distribution of its BNPL product, the firm is also forging strategic alliances in the Emirates. Tabby, in September 2023, entered into a partnership with Arabian Automobiles to offer enhanced convenience and flexibility for vehicle maintenance and repairs.

Furthermore, firms are also expected to raise venture capital and private equity funding, thereby driving innovation and a competitive landscape in the sector.

Global firms are entering the fast-growing buy now pay later industry in the United Arab Emirates

The BNPL industry is projected to grow steadily over the next three to four years, amid rising adoption of the payment method. To tap into the growing market, global firms are entering into the industry with their solutions.

Alif, one of the leading global fintech firms, launched its financial services suite in the United Arab Emirates market in September 2023. The financial services suite includes products like send now pay later, buy now pay later, and fly now pay later, among others. The firm also launched global remittance services for residents in the United Arab Emirates.

As the market continues to grow and more global players launch their products in the Emirati nation, the competitive landscape is poised to grow even further from the short to medium-term perspective.

The Central Bank issued new guidelines for buy now pay later firms in the United Arab Emirates

The Central Bank, in December 2023, announced new regulations to oversee BNPL services. According to the UAE Central Bank, businesses providing BNPL services must operate as agents of licensed banks or financial institutions, with approval from the central bank.

Fintech companies in the BNPL sector can also offer short-term credit services after obtaining a license as restricted license finance companies. Unlicensed entities providing short-term credit must either apply for a license or collaborate with licensed banks to continue their services.

The central bank has defined short-term credit as credit granted for up to 12 months for purchasing goods or services without interest, collateral, or a security deposit. This regulation aligns with the growing global trend of BNPL services, driven by increased consumer demand for flexible payment options and the expansion of e-commerce. These guidelines will serve as the foundation for further regulatory activities for the BNPL sector in the Emirates.

PropAccount.com Adds Equities to Its Multi-Asset Prop Firm Platform, Opening the Door to the World’s Largest Trading Market

Published

on

By

White-label prop firm operators can now offer equities alongside forex, futures, and crypto, all inside one tech stack, at no additional cost.

BOCA RATON, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PropAccount.com, which is powered by FPFX Tech, and operates as the world’s largest white-label prop firm provider, has announced the addition of equities trading to its offering, bringing the world’s largest financial market within reach of every prop firm operator on its network.

With equities now supported inside the PropAccount.com ecosystem, white-label partners can offer equities trading challenges in single-session and swing-trading varieties.

One Platform. Four Asset Classes.

PropAccount.com is recognized as one of the prop trading industry’s most comprehensive infrastructure solutions, supporting forex, futures, and crypto across leading platforms, including DXtrade, Match-Trader, cTrader, Rithmic, and Tradovate. The addition of equities completes the grand slam of assets.

For existing PropAccount.com partners, equities trading slots directly into the same infrastructure that already handles trader onboarding, challenges, automated risk rules, account management, KYC, and payments. There is nothing new to configure, no new vendor to manage, and no new cost to absorb.

For new operators entering the industry, the launch path is equally direct. PropAccount’s white-label model allows operators to go live in as little as seven days, with equities available alongside the full suite of supported markets.

A Market Too Large to Ignore

According to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, U.S. equity market capitalization was at $68.2 trillion at year-end 2025, with daily trading volume averaging a record 18.6 billion shares. The numbers speak for themselves. Millions of traders worldwide focus on equities as a core part of their strategy, and the prop firm ecosystem has not offered this asset class – until now. PropAccount.com’s expansion into equities allows operators to reach this audience directly, building programs designed specifically for traders without fragmenting their existing infrastructure.

Wider Audience for Operators

For operators, the practical opportunity is audience expansion. Many equities traders have never engaged with a prop firm because no prop firm has spoken to them. Equities support on PropAccount.com changes that calculus, giving operators a direct path to a segment of the trading community that has largely been left out of the prop firm model.

The PropAccount platform handles risk monitoring, drawdown controls, scaling rules, automated payouts, trader dashboards, CRM, affiliate systems, and KYC: every operational layer required to run a professional prop firm. Adding a fourth asset class to that foundation required no new architecture. It was built to support it.

“Equities are the largest traded market in the world, and traders have been underserved by the retail prop industry for too long. Adding equities to our tech stack means our operators can now reach this audience directly with the equities they trade, without forcing them to adjust to equity CFDs.” – Justin Hertzberg, CEO of PropAccount.com

About PropAccount.com

PropAccount.com is the white-label prop firm infrastructure provider powered by FPFX Tech, the leader in prop trading technology. The platform enables entrepreneurs, trading educators, influencers, and IBs to launch fully branded prop firms in as little as seven days, using enterprise-grade technology covering trading platforms, risk tools, payments, KYC, affiliate systems, trader dashboards, and capital backing.

Published

on

By

LEESBURG, Fla., April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Health Karma Inc., a leader in proactive well-being and behavioral health solutions, today announced the national rollout of its Health Karma PersonalCare™ Bundles, a new product line designed to meet the urgent healthcare access needs of millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans – particularly independent contractors, part-time, and hourly workers.

Developed over the past two years and fully integrated into Health Karma’s proprietary mobile platform, the PersonalCare Bundles represent a scalable, direct-to-consumer healthcare access solution that is already gaining rapid traction across broker networks nationwide.

A Massive, Underserved Market – The launch comes at a critical time in the U.S. healthcare landscape:

Nearly 23% of working-age adults are underinsured, facing high deductibles and out-of-pocket costsApproximately 24 million Americans remain completely uninsuredMillions more experience gaps in coverage annuallyAverage deductibles now exceed $4,000, with marketplace plans reaching as high as $7,400+

These realities leave a significant portion of the workforce, especially gig workers and part-time employees, effectively locked out of timely, affordable care.

“We Are Not Insurance — We Are Access”:

Health Karma’s PersonalCare Bundles are not insurance products. Instead, they provide immediate, affordable access to healthcare services through a simple, app-based experience. Users can connect 24/7 with licensed physicians, Master’s-level behavioral health clinicians, receive diagnoses, and obtain prescriptions often at zero out-of-pocket cost within hours. One early user shared their experience after enrolling through a broker partner: “I had a severe breakout and couldn’t reach my primary doctor. Through the app, I spoke with a physician within an hour, received a prescription, and paid $0 for both the consultation and medication. The entire process took less than two hours and solved my problem completely.”

Immediate Revenue, Proven Demand – Health Karma reports strong early validation of the product:

Zero pushback from broker distribution channelsInitial pilot groups saw 127 immediate sign-upsNationwide rollout underway through thousands of insurance brokers and independent agentsAll bundles, even the entry-level bundles, generate significant and sustainable recurring revenue for Health Karma

With a growing network of over 100 experienced brokers ready to deploy, the Company anticipates rapid expansion in the coming quarters.

Flexible Distribution Model – The PersonalCare Bundles are uniquely positioned for mass adoption:

Available direct-to-consumer without employer sponsorshipNo requirement for licensed insurance agents to sellEasily deployable for employers via simple group enrollment and monthly billingAccessible across mobile, tablet, and desktop, with a seamless app-based interface

Part of a Broader Growth Strategy – This launch complements Health Karma’s expanding footprint across multiple high-impact verticals, including:

UniversitiesHealthcare and health benefit providersJustice-Impacted Reentry ProgramsFirst Responders and VeteransNative American tribal healthcare programsWorkplace violence response programsWorkers’ compensation solutions

Technology-Driven Expansion:

To accelerate adoption, Health Karma is preparing a 90-day rollout strategy leveraging advanced AI, SEO, and targeted digital marketing to reach high-need populations such as small business owners, gig economy workers, and uninsured individuals.

Executive Commentary:

Travis H. Jackson, CEO of Health Karma, stated: “This is one of the most important products we’ve developed. It directly addresses a massive and growing gap in the U.S. healthcare system. The demand is immediate, the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, and the revenue potential is significant. We are moving aggressively to scale distribution and ensure this solution reaches the millions of people who need it most.”
