About Us

Our Story

Al, a long-time expat in Dubai, remembers when tipping was simple.

Handing a valet, service station attendant, or taxi driver a 20-dirham note with a smile. But as the UAE embraced cashless payments, that effortless gesture became harder, even awkward.

Frustrated, Al set out to bring tipping back into the digital age — seamless, cashless, and instant. That’s how TipEase was born.
