In an exciting development for the Pakistani fintech ecosystem, SadaPay has been acquired by Papara, Turkey’s leading fintech company valued at nearly $2 billion USD. 📈

This acquisition will bring cutting-edge technology and financial expertise to SadaPay, empowering it to deliver top-tier mobile banking services to millions of Pakistanis and making financial transactions faster, simpler, and more accessible. 💪

How did it all start?

While attending Endeavor Retreat 2023, a global gathering of the best tech entrepreneurs across the globe, SadaPay’s founder and CEO, Brandon Timinsky, met Ahmed Karsli, the visionary behind Papara. 🤝

Their shared passion for innovation and technology led to exploring potential synergies, with Papara entering Pakistan on Team SadaPay in 2024, with the State Bank of Pakistan’s blessings.

Timinsky explains how this new fintech team will allow SadaPay to enhance its services and reach every corner of Pakistan.

“With SadaPay’s strong brand, exceptional team, and local foundation, this acquisition will significantly accelerate the pace at which we can deliver value to Pakistan’s quarter-billion citizens.”
