stc pay Bahrain Partners With PIE to Expand QR Payments
stc pay Bahrain has partnered with Payment International Enterprise (PIE) to expand QR code payments across Bahrain. As a result, customers can now make payments by scanning QR codes generated on PIE’s point-of-sale (POS) terminals using the stc pay mobile app.

Additionally, it connects stc pay users with PIE’s growing merchant network across retail, hospitality, and service sectors. Consequently, merchants gain another digital payment option while reaching a broader customer base.

The collaboration aligns with Bahrain’s ongoing efforts to strengthen digital payment services and reduce cash dependency. Moreover, the integration helps merchants improve transaction efficiency and simplify payment processing.
Metin Zavrak, CEO of stc pay, said, “By enabling stc pay QR payments on PIE’s POS network, we are expanding access and convenience for our customers while giving merchants a secure and efficient payment solution that meets the pace of technological change in the financial sector. This collaboration directly supports the Kingdom’s vision for digital transformation in financial services and positions stc pay at the forefront of Bahrain’s evolving payment ecosystem.”
Meanwhile, Shabbir Modi, Managing Director of PIE, added that, “Our partnership with stc pay is a key milestone in expanding QR payment acceptance across our POS network, helping businesses provide a faster and more seamless checkout experience. Together, we are supporting Bahrain’s digital transformation journey and contributing to the Kingdom’s transition toward a cashless economy.”
