How Xibalba helped Tip & Tap scale digital tipping across the GCC through secure fintech APIs
The Idea
The idea behind Tip & Tap began with a modern, humanistic vision — to create a safe and easy digital way for individuals to exchange financial and non-financial rewards in appreciation of efforts or services in a cashless, evolving environment. Xibalba saw in this idea an opportunity to launch a model that reflects the spirit of the UAE in appreciation and tolerance, through a smart application that connects people in a sophisticated digital way that combines security, innovation, and humanity.
The Challenge
Xibalba faced a number of technical and regulatory challenges:
Building an integrated digital financial system compliant with the regulations of the UAE Central Bank.
Designing a simple and user-friendly interface for all segments of society and in multiple languages.
Connecting the application to licensed payment gateways without complicated registration or transfer processes.
Ensuring the highest standards of cybersecurity and data protection.
Transforming the concept of human appreciation into an effective digital experience managed via smartphones.
The Technical Solution
Xibalba developed the project from concept to full implementation through meticulous and organized stages:
The Results in Numbers

All financial transactions without security breaches

The Impact
Xibalba has successfully transformed the concept of individual rewards into an integrated digital system that connects technology with societal values. Tip & Tap has become an effective model for financial technologies that embody a human spirit and align with Dubai's digital transformation strategy, fostering a culture of appreciation and respect within the Gulf community.
