Bahrain: ONE App launches e-marketplace and BNPL
The e-marketplace allows a wide network of local merchants – whether operating online or through physical retail outlets – to showcase their products directly within the app. This new platform offers users a curated retail experience, enabling them to browse, select, and purchase a diverse range of products with convenience and confidence. ONE App now allows clients to opt for BNPL as a payment method with interest-free and no paperwork or salary transfer required. Clients can split their payments into three monthly instalments, making shopping more flexible and accessible.
The newly introduced features not only enhances client convenience but also extends significant value to merchants. Businesses can now digitally onboard themselves through a self-service process, enabling them to list products on the ONE App marketplace, extend comfortable instalment plans to their clients, and monitor their sales performance through an intuitive dashboard.
This initiative is set to drive meaningful commercial growth by enabling merchants to reach a digitally connected audience while offering added flexibility at checkout, whether online or at physical retail locations.
Commenting on the launch, ONE App general manager Haitham Al Haddad stated: 'Our goal at ONE App has always been to simplify everyday living by integrating financial services with real-life experiences. The launch of the e-marketplace, combined with a seamless BNPL feature, represents a transformative step forward — not only for our clients but for the broader retail landscape in Bahrain. This initiative empowers merchants with greater reach and digital presence while giving clients an affordable, transparent, and effortless way to shop. It is another example of how ONE App continues to bridge technology, finance, and lifestyle to build a smarter, more inclusive future.'
The launch of the e-marketplace with BNPL is a significant step in ONE App's broader strategy to become the preferred digital platform for modern living. It reflects a vision rooted in accessibility, convenience, and value-delivering benefits that extend beyond financial transactions to support real economic participation and digital transformation across the kingdom.
To learn more about the marketplace, shop with BNPL, or onboard as a merchant, users are invited to visit www.oneapp.bh or download ONE App from the App Store or Google Play.

Alat, TK Elevator get key regulatory approvals for $186mln Saudi JV
Alat, a unit of Saudi sovereign wealth fund PIF, and TK Elevator (TKE), a global leader in vertical transportation and urban mobility, today (August 5) confirmed receipt of all statutory and regulatory approvals required to close their €160 million ($186.3 million) joint venture (JV) and Alat's 15% equity investment in TKE. These approvals mark the completion of the intent first announced in February 2025. The JV will be headquartered in Saudi Arabia and will, over time, locally manufacture elevators, escalators and moving walks for the kingdom and the wider Mena market. Supported by a local product-development center, it will be the first elevator and escalator manufacturing operation in Saudi Arabia by a global company, fully aligned with PIF's economic-diversification agenda. The JV will also act as TKE's sales and service entity in Saudi Arabia. TKE will contribute advanced technology, manufacturing expertise and world-class safety methodology. The JV will serve as an innovation hub, featuring a product-development center and a training facility that complements TKE's SEED Campus. Together, TKE and the JV will create a regional International Technical Services team to provide technical support and third-party maintenance under the TKE Universal Service proposition. On the key approvals, Amit Midha, CEO of Alat, said: "Today's announcement marks a decisive step in positioning Saudi Arabia as a global center for advanced manufacturing. Our partnership with TK Elevator will localise cutting-edge mobility technology, create high-value skilled jobs, and cultivate world-class expertise within Saudi talent, further strengthening Saudi Arabia's emerging advanced manufacturing cluster." "Together, we will power the Kingdom's giga-projects and export sustainable innovation throughout the region. This partnership will fulfill Vision 2030 and advance Alat's mandate to build a world-class manufacturing hub for advanced technologies. Paving the way for future collaborations that support this ambition," he stated. Uday Yadav, CEO of TK Elevator, said: "Finalising the joint venture and welcoming Alat as a long-term shareholder positions TK Elevator to meet surging demand for innovative mobility solutions during Saudi Arabia's development super-cycle and beyond." "We are excited to deepen this multi-dimensional partnership and shape the smart cities of the future together," he stated. This TK Elevator transaction, he said, was the third strategic deal Alat has completed, following the finalisation of its SoftBank and Lenovo partnerships, underscoring the company's mandate to become a global hub for advanced, sustainable manufacturing. "Through such partnerships, Alat is accelerating localisation, technology transfer and export-led growth from Saudi Arabia to the world," he added.- TradeArabia News Service Copyright 2025 Al Hilal Publishing and Marketing Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
