Commenting on the partnership, Cellum COO Abel Garamhegyi said: "The Middle East and Africa region is of great importance to us, as the market is expected to double by 2020, from $7bn in 2014. The largest markets here are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt, and we want these countries to start their exciting journey towards a cashless economy with the help of Cellum’s services."
