- Best suited to
- Businesses in India, the Gulf and the UK that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected tools and want one system rather than several that need reconciling.

Your own split-payment platform, built for KSA
Tamara made paying in instalments a mainstream checkout option across Saudi Arabia, growing fast by helping shoppers split purchases and merchants sell more. Entering this space needs licensing and capital - and a solid technology platform, which is what Shyphan builds.
We build Tamara-style BNPL platforms end to end: a customer app to shop, split payments in instalments or pay later, and manage repayments; merchant integration via checkout SDK, ecommerce plugins and APIs with automatic settlement; an instalment and risk engine with configurable plans, scoring and limits; repayment collection through Mada, STC Pay and cards; and an admin dashboard for merchants, users, risk, settlements and reporting.
It is localised for the Kingdom - Arabic-first RTL apps, Saudi payment rails and compliance-ready structure - on a fixed, transparent quote. Regulatory licensing (for example with SAMA) is arranged by you; we build the technology to your requirements.
