Paymentology<\/a>, the leading global issuer-processor, has announced the opening of its new and expanded office in Dubai<\/a>, marking a significant milestone in its continued investment across the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The relocation reflects Paymentology\u2019s expanding regional footprint, driven by a fast-growing client base and rising demand for advanced, scalable payment infrastructure. With clients and partners including organisations such as Wio, Mamo, Mawarid Finance,and Zand, the new office will serve as a strategic hub for delivery, collaboration, and innovation, supporting digital banks and fintechs across the region with next-generation payment experiences.<\/p>\n

Jeff Parker, CEO, Paymentology commented: <\/strong>\u201cThe Middle East has reached an inflection point. We\u2019re seeing governments prioritise financial innovation, regulatory frameworks that support experimentation, and a new generation of digital banks gaining real traction. Our investment in this new space reflects that shift. It’s designed to act as a regional engine for client success, efficient execution, and long-term scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement comes at a time of significant momentum for the region. The Middle East is fast becoming one of the world\u2019s most exciting fintech frontiers. Digital banking adoption in the UAE is soaring, 89% of consumers now use digital-first bank accounts<\/a>, and digital payments now account for just 17% cash usage<\/a> in everyday transactions. Real-time payments are also growing rapidly, with the region expected to exceed 3 billion transactions by 2028<\/a>. Across MENA, over 1,000 fintechs are now operating, with the sector expected to grow 35% annually through 2028<\/a>, more than double the global average.<\/p>\n

Nauman Hassan, Regional Director for MENA: <\/strong>\u201cDubai has been home to our regional team for a decade, but this move is symbolic of the momentum we\u2019re seeing here. In just a few years, we’ve gone from early-stage digitisation to fully cloud-first banks, instant payments, and embedded finance becoming mainstream. As that complexity grows, our clients need partners who understand the regulatory nuance, user behaviour, and infrastructure demands of each market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Dubai office will serve as a base for client delivery, partner engagement, and operations, housing an expanded team of local experts. As part of a global network spanning 50 countries and 14 time zones, Paymentology combines leading technology with deep local market knowledge, ensuring its clients receive tailored, responsive support wherever they operate.<\/p>\n

To further highlight its commitment to the region, Paymentologyhas also been awarded the Excellence Award at the Mawarid Fintech & Innovation Summit 2025. This recognition celebrates the company\u2019s strong partnerships and outstanding contributions to advancing financial innovation across the Middle East.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
