Designed for ease of adoption, the platform can be set up in under an hour and integrates local payment rails while supporting Arabic-language interfaces.

The company’s strategy reflects growing investor confidence in B2B payments infrastructure in the region — a sector gaining traction as businesses seek more flexible, automated ways to manage payments.
