PayitFast adds Zameera luxury travel to Verati

PayitFast and Zameera have signed an MOU to bring Zameera’s ultra-luxury travel experiences to PayitFast members through Verati, the payments platform’s lifestyle and concierge arm. The partnership gives members access to curated trips that have traditionally been available through private networks and personal introductions.

Why it matters: - PayitFast is expanding beyond payments and into curated lifestyle services for members. - Zameera gains access to a new distribution channel for ultra-luxury travel experiences. - The partnership aims to make rare-access travel available through a digital platform rather than private banking circles or personal referrals.

What happened: - Zameera and PayitFast announced a memorandum of understanding in Dubai on Sept. 16, 2026. - The agreement is between Zameera and Verati, PayitFast’s dedicated lifestyle and concierge platform. - The partnership will deliver Zameera travel offerings to PayitFast members through Verati.

The details: - The first travel options include a private safari camp on Kenya’s Maasai Mara. - The initial lineup also includes a heli-skiing week beneath Iceland’s midnight sun. - A two-part journey along Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastline is part of the launch selection. - PayitFast members will be able to discover and book the experiences through the broader PayitFast ecosystem. - The companies plan to work on platform integration, service onboarding and joint marketing before launch. - Sebastian Taskila, Zameera’s CEO, said the company is extending its vetted ultra-luxury travel standard to a new audience of high-net-worth clients. - Catherine Thin Nwe Nyein, PayitFast’s group partnership director, said Verati is being built to deliver value beyond payments through travel, hospitality and lifestyle partners. - Zameera is headquartered in Dubai and focuses on experiences for ultra-high-net-worth clients worldwide. - Zameera’s portfolio includes private island buyouts, fully private polar expeditions, exclusive safari camps and rare-access journeys across the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, Antarctica, Indonesia, the Arctic, Kenya and Rwanda. - PayitFast is a digital payments platform for digital assets and traditional fiat payments for retail and corporate customers. - PayitFast is a trading name of Silverleaf E-Money Services LTD, Canada, an authorised Money Services Business and Payment Services Provider regulated by FINTRAC and the Bank of Canada. - PayitFast also offers cross-border collections, payouts and invoicing for businesses. - Verati is operated in Dubai, and Zameera is joining as a founding experience partner. - PayitFast said it continues to expand Verati’s network of travel, hospitality, lifestyle and concierge partners. - Media contacts listed in the release are contact@zameera.com and contact@payitfast.com.

Between the lines: - The deal reflects a wider trend among premium fintech platforms to package services around lifestyle and access, not just transactions. - For PayitFast, the move can deepen member engagement and add a higher-end consumer layer to its ecosystem. - For Zameera, the partnership suggests a push to reach affluent clients at scale without relying only on traditional luxury travel channels. - The release frames the arrangement as part of a shift toward curated access that has been hard to buy through standard consumer channels. - The announcement also includes a regulatory reminder that PayitFast operates only in jurisdictions where it holds the necessary authorizations.

What's next: - The companies will share more details on member access and launch timing in the coming months. - Platform integration and onboarding work will continue ahead of the rollout. - Joint marketing is expected before the service goes live. - PayitFast and Zameera are positioning the partnership as the start of a broader expansion of Verati’s experience partners.

The bottom line: - PayitFast is using Verati to turn its member app into a gateway for ultra-luxury travel, while Zameera gets a direct channel to high-intent affluent travelers.
