British cloud-based payment processor Paymentology is planning to expand its digital banking business in the Middle East.
The move is in line with the company’s strategy to hit the projected growth target in the region.
Paymentology has set itself up for rapid growth following the expansion of its Dubai offices and a contact centre in Pakistan.
The potential exit of scandal-hit rival Wirecard from the market could also be a major factor contributing towards its growth.
Moreover, it has been reported that over 17 out of 20 adults in the UAE are unbanked.
This calls for opportunities to size up quality payment processors for bringing new technology to the new and existing digital banks in the region.
