According to Dibsy, this technology will particularly benefit merchants who have not shifted their business to the digital space as it enables them to use SMS, WhatsApp, email, or social media platforms to send out payment links to customers.

The company also intends to ram up its scope to offer more services connected to its payment solutions.

Farah noted: “We started Dibsy to enhance payment services with businesses in mind.”
