Digitt+, one of Pakistan’s leading Electronic Money Institutes, has officially partnered with Barq PK (formerly MYTM Pvt Ltd Pakistan) to integrate digital payments into the Barq platform through open APIs. The strategic alliance was formalized at the Leap Conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where senior leadership from both companies gathered to sign the agreement. The partnership aims to simplify financial access for Pakistani users by embedding financial services directly into the Barq application.
Under this collaboration, Barq PK will harness Digitt+’s open API-driven infrastructure to power a seamless digital wallet experience on its platform. The services will include instant fund transfers, digital payments, mobile top-ups, and card issuance—all enabled through Digitt+’s Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) framework. This WaaS model allows Barq PK to offer banking-grade digital financial services without building out complex infrastructure, helping accelerate time to market and scale efficiently.
The signing ceremony brought together key stakeholders including Digitt+ CEO Ahmed Saleemi, Barq PK CEO Mansoor Chaudhry, and Barq Holding Group CEO Ahmed Alenazi. Senior executives from both firms, including representatives from strategy, compliance, cards, merchant solutions, and product management, were also in attendance, reflecting the high-level commitment to this initiative.
In addition to facilitating local digital transactions, the partnership is set to support overseas remittances, particularly for Pakistani workers in Saudi Arabia. This cross-border capability aligns with the growing demand for efficient and affordable remittance channels and strengthens Barq’s vision of providing inclusive financial solutions tailored for diaspora communities.
This marks the third successful rollout of Digitt+’s WaaS offering in Pakistan. Unlike traditional Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) solutions, which include deposit and lending features, Digitt+ focuses purely on digital payments and wallets. This narrower focus allows for quick deployment and deep integration, particularly useful for fintech startups and businesses looking to add financial services to their ecosystems.
Commenting on the development, Ahmed Alenazi of Barq Group said that expanding Barq into Pakistan aligns with the company’s mission of making financial services simple and universally accessible. He added that Barq’s success in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has positioned the company to deliver innovative solutions in Pakistan with an understanding of regional user behavior and needs.
Ahmed Saleemi of Digitt+ noted the growing importance of embedded finance in the digital economy, calling the collaboration a milestone in Digitt+’s journey to power financial inclusion in Pakistan. “Through our Wallet-as-a-Service platform, we’re empowering businesses like Barq PK to launch secure, fully integrated financial services without the burdens of traditional infrastructure. Our APIs make it easier than ever to scale and reach underserved markets,” he said.
Barq PK’s CEO, Mansoor Chaudhry, reinforced the platform’s commitment to financial accessibility and innovation. “Our aim is to bring cutting-edge financial tools to Pakistani users, and with Digitt+’s technology, we can enhance the user experience while contributing to national digital growth.”
This partnership further establishes Digitt+ as a key enabler in Pakistan’s embedded payments ecosystem. With over 100 open APIs in action, the company is playing a vital role in equipping fintechs, startups, and enterprises with scalable, secure financial solutions that advance the cause of digital inclusion. As embedded finance continues to evolve, collaborations like this signal the future of how digital transactions and financial services will be delivered in Pakistan.
