Checkout.com has unveiled its strategy to become a global digital payment service provider (PSP) and launch secure card issuing services in the UAE. Expected to roll out in 2026, the initiative is pending regulatory approval and will allow businesses to issue branded cards, both physical and virtual, and streamline financial operations.
The card issuance service aims to simplify B2B payouts, customer rewards, and expense management, offering businesses improved control over financial flows. Checkout.com is focused on creating secure, efficient products that meet market demands while remaining compliant with regional regulations. The company also aims to strengthen its presence in the MENA region, contributing to the region’s growing digital economy.
In addition to card issuing services, Checkout.com has expanded its offerings through strategic partnerships. In March 2025, it partnered with Tabby to enhance Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. It also collaborated with Temu to optimize the digital payment experience for online shoppers.
These initiatives reflect Checkout.com’s commitment to enhancing payment solutions and expanding its footprint in the MENA region.
