Rapid digitization across the globe is transforming all aspects of our lives, and payments are the most crucial element. From online shopping and streaming videos to money transfers, almost every digital activity relies on a payment system.

Banabeela also claimed the telecom operator’s move to accept crypto payments demonstrates Stc Bahrain’s “strong focus on advancing Bahrain’s fintech sector as world-class digital enablers.” In addition, the CEO said his company plans to make the acceptance of crypto “a seamless process and increase adoption as crypto is the future of payments.”

Meanwhile, the founder & CEO of Eazy Financial Services, Nayef Tawfiq Al Alawi, claimed that the partnership arrangement makes it possible for the telecom operator to accept cryptocurrency payments but “in a regulated, secure and extremely fast manner.”

For his part, Tameem Al Moosawi, the general manager at Binance Bahrain, commended Stc Bahrain for taking the initiative and for potentially setting the benchmark for telecom operators that want to transition to the Web3 economy.
