“We look forward to giving merchants access to a superior acquiring solution that will future-proof their payments set-up and drive higher results as we provide them with access to the full capabilities of the Adyen platform.”

Adyen noted that it is the first and only payment provider in the UAE to provide a single-platform unified commerce solution.

Due to direct card acquiring connections to Visa and Mastercard, transactions get processed locally in the UAE through the Adyen platform.

Among the further supported payment methods include American Express, Diners, Discover, JCB, UnionPay International, WeChat and AliPay, claimed Adyen.

Adyen’s foray to the UAE is supported through its partnership with Network International, an enabler of digital commerce across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region.

The company will be provided support by Network International with scheme sponsorship services for Visa and Mastercard acquiring.
