DOHA, Qatar & VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#FinancialInfrastructure–VoPay International Inc., a global fintech infrastructure platform, today announced the establishment of its global headquarters in Qatar. The move positions Qatar as VoPay’s primary hub for advancing digital financial infrastructure and supporting scalable financial modernization across the Middle East and North Africa, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other high-growth regions, while continuing to serve the company’s operations across North America, Europe, and Latin America.
