In a groundbreaking move set to transform the global financial services landscape, BipTap, a pioneering omnibanking platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Al Fardan Ventures, represented by esteemed technology leader Mr. Mohammed Ebrahim Al Fardan, to establish a next-generation global digital bank headquartered in Abu Dhabi.
This milestone agreement sets the foundation for launching a fully digital wholesale and retail bank designed to serve the broader financial ecosystem. The bank will deliver cutting-edge B2B digital banking solutions, seamless crypto and fiat integration, and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) features—purpose-built for financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprises worldwide.
With core technology platforms already developed and tested, the partners are now initiating the licensing process and operational setup in the UAE. The venture further strengthens Abu Dhabi’s position as a leading global hub for financial technology and digital asset innovation.
As part of this development, the board has appointed Mr. Mohammed Ebrahim Al Fardan as Regional Managing Director, overseeing Middle East operations and Global Technology Operations (GTO). With decades of experience in high-tech investments and innovation strategy, Mr. Al Fardan is well-positioned to guide the digital bank to the forefront of fintech transformation.
“This partnership marks a key milestone in our journey to reimagine the future of banking,” said Mr. Al Fardan. “It aligns perfectly with our broader vision, including upcoming initiatives such as a global crypto liquidity platform and an AI-driven crypto trading ecosystem, which we plan to unveil in due course.”
Jonathan Low, Founder and CEO of BipTap, added:
“This is more than a digital bank—it’s a financial revolution. By merging Abu Dhabi’s strategic advantage with Al Fardan Ventures’ legacy in tech and banking, and leveraging BipTap’s scalable plug-and-play infrastructure, we’re creating borderless, democratized banking for the 21st century.”
At the heart of this bold vision is BipTap’s mission to build the world’s first true Omni Bank—a modular, globally connected platform that functions like the ‘Airbnb of Banking’, linking users and businesses directly with financial institutions around the world.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to reshaping the future of finance through modern infrastructure, regulatory alignment, and investor-supported scalability—ushering in a new era of inclusive digital financial services from the UAE to the world.
