Manama – Sharikat Mubasher: stc pay Bahrain announced it has partnered with Bahrain-based fintech and payment solutions provider Payment International Enterprise (PIE) to enable QR code payments across PIE's point-of-sale (POS) network, expanding digital payment options for consumers and merchants across the Kingdom.

As per a recent press release, this integration allows stc pay users to complete purchases by scanning QR codes generated on PIE POS terminals via the stc pay mobile app. Transactions are processed instantly without the need for cash or physical payment cards, offering a faster and more convenient checkout experience.

The collaboration connects stc pay's growing customer base with PIE's expanding merchant network, serving businesses across retail, hospitality, and other service sectors.
