Ali AlHabshi

I founded UPayments with a simple goal: to make digital payments easier and more accessible for businesses in Kuwait. Over the years, we built a company defined by innovation, resilience, and a commitment to doing things the right way. In 2024, UPayments was acquired by the National Bank of Kuwait — a moment that spoke not only to the strength of what we created, but to the potential of what’s still ahead. Before UPayments, I led cybersecurity efforts across six countries at Zain Group, an experience that shaped my approach to building secure, scalable solutions. Today, my focus remains on creating technology that makes a difference — and on growing ideas that last.
