financing option for shoppers to pay for items in four equal instalments and 
has a high-profile brand in the region. tabby integrates directly into merchant 
checkouts or POS systems and does not charge shoppers interest.

"This is a great partnership for us at tabby as it allows us to broaden our 
product offering to existing merchants as well as enter new verticals across 
the markets we serve," said tabby founder and CEO Hosam Arab. "Splitit has an 
elegant solution that will fit nicely within our product and complement our 
financing options for higher-value purchases."

"We are delighted to be partnering with tabby to expand their market-leading 
offering. We've always seen our solution as complementary to other BNPL 
providers, which this new exciting partnership with tabby highlights perfectly. 
Our global payments platform is the only solution leveraging credit card 
payment networks, with the flexibility to scale internationally without the 
need for major on-the-ground support," said Splitit CEO Brad Paterson.

"Having expanded our platform capability, we can now also offer white-label 
solutions as a way to enter new regions such as the Middle East by partnering 
with established players that already have a strong market presence. While we 
remain focused on further penetration of Splitit's branded product in the US, 
APAC and Europe, this provides a new low-cost, high-margin revenue stream which 
we can easily emulate in other markets," added Mr. Paterson.
