Dubai's Hamdan bin Mohammed names Ziina for Dubai-it award
Dubai Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed announced the Dubai-it Award for Ziina in the business category for companies on 31 October 2026. He highlighted its services enabling businesses to accept payments by phone.
In his message, reported by Al Bayan and ARN, he said the platform had exceeded $1.5 billion in payments and served 500,000 users. He also said it supported 290,000 business owners and small ventures, including home businesses.
These figures come from the statement accompanying the award: the reports consulted specify neither the period covered by the payment total nor an independent audit. The development is an announced award, with no funding round or new regulatory authorisation established by these reports.
