Ziina is bringing the next generation of financial services to the Middle East.
As the UAE’s first peer-to-peer payment app, Ziina is on a mission to simplify finance for everyone. Send and receive payments with just a phone number—no IBAN or swift code required. Ziina offers bank-grade security and end-to-end encryption, never holding onto your money so every transfer goes fast. Currently available to UAE residents on iOS and Android, the app provides a seamless way for friends and family to split the cost of takeout or a grocery bill. As Ziina grows, we’re committed to creating a new age of money in the Middle East and redefining how people use technology to transform their finances.
