Empowering Businesses Across UAE with Simplified Tools

The Fortis Story

Our story

How Fortis Came to Life

Fortis was founded in Dubai in 2022 with a clear mission: to redefine payments in the region and make business easier for every merchant. What began as a vision to transform card machines into powerful, cloud-driven POS systems quickly gained momentum.

In 2023, we secured a strategic partnership with Network International, one of the leading payment providers in the region. This milestone accelerated our growth and allowed us to expand our reach and strengthen our product offering.

Since then, Fortis has been growing at an exponential pace. Our product has continued to evolve, and we’ve introduced innovative solutions such as Table Pay, designed specifically for the F&B industry. Looking ahead, we are working to secure more partnerships with banks and payment providers, launch new products, and expand across the wider MENA region

Our Mission

Why We Exist

Running a business can be tough when you don’t have the right tools. Business owners often waste precious time on processes that should be effortless. We are on a mission to take away the hassle of running a business and give merchants the freedom to focus on their customers and growing their business rather than drowning in admin work.

Values We Abide By

Prioritize Clients

Merchants' success is our success. Every solution we create is designed to add real value to their businesses.

Build Meaningful Partnerships

We believe strong partnerships whether with banks or merchants are the pave way to build scalable solutions.

Focused on Simplicity

We focus on delivering simple yet powerful solutions, so merchants can focus on running their business, not learning new systems.

Driven by Innovation

Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. It drives us to look beyond the obvious, challenge outdated systems, and reimagine how businesses run.

Put People First

Behind every transaction is a person. We value empathy, collaboration, and human connection as the foundation of lasting relationships.

Always Future Ready

Our aim is to design solutions that can help merchants stay ahead of change and thrive in a digital-first world.
