What the partners said
“At Al-Itqan, we believe in the importance of forging high-impact partnerships with leading global institutions such as Amazon, one of the world’s foremost technology companies,” said Sultan Saad Al-Qahtani, Founding Partner. “This agreement aims to enhance market efficiency and stimulate digital transformation in the legal and financial business environment.”
“We are proud of this partnership, which marks a strategic step in supporting Kuwait’s digital economy by offering innovative legal solutions that respond to the developments in the payments sector,” said Fahad Al-Buraikan, Founding Partner.
The signing

Why it matters
Digital payments often move faster than the rules that govern them. Every new payment service raises practical legal questions: licensing and compliance, customer data protection, and how liability is shared between merchant, provider and bank. Pairing a regional payments technology provider with local legal expertise helps businesses adopt modern payment solutions on a sound legal footing.
