BENEFIT will support FinTech Forward 2025 as a gold sponsor and ATME, the Central Bank of Bahrain-licensed digital assets exchange, joins as a silver sponsor. Bahrain’s flagship fintech forum returns for its third edition on October 8–9, 2025 at Exhibition World Bahrain, hosted by the Bahrain Economic Development Board and programmed by Economist Impact via the official FinTech Forward 2025 site.

BENEFIT’s sponsorship reflects a longer track record modernising national payments, including EFTS and BenefitPay. The company reported 242.7 million electronic transactions worth BHD 18.2 billion in H1 2025, underscoring continued growth in digital payments across the Kingdom, as highlighted on BENEFIT’s news page and covered by TradeArabia.

ATME, a CBB-licensed platform focused on tokenized real-world assets, launched publicly at FinTech Forward 2024 and introduced gold-backed tokens as part of its early offerings, aligning with Bahrain’s push to broaden access to alternative assets through compliant infrastructure.

This year’s program will convene global and regional fintech leaders to explore innovation, policy, and infrastructure, building on Bahrain’s dynamic financial services sector and its fintech-ready talent base. Event details, agenda updates, and registration are available on the FinTech Forward 2025 website.
