Dubai — Telr, the award-winning online payment gateway, has announced a strategic partnership with Kema, a UAE-based fintech platform specializing in SaaS solutions for B2B SMEs. The collaboration aims to optimize and automate cash flow processes across the region by combining Telr’s comprehensive payment solutions with Kema’s intelligent finance platform.
Through this partnership, Kema merchants gain access to Telr’s powerful suite of local and international payment instruments, supporting transactions in over 120 currencies and 30 languages. Backed by Telr’s UAE Central Bank Retail Payment Services License (RPS), businesses are assured of regulatory compliance while enjoying smooth and secure payments.
Kema, meanwhile, enables businesses to generate invoices instantly, embed secure payment links, send automated reminders, and track receivables in real-time. Integrated plug-ins with leading accounting platforms such as QuickBooks, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Workday, and Wafeq make onboarding quick and seamless.
Khalil Alami, Founder and CEO of Telr, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Kema to deliver robust local and international payment options with top-tier security at competitive rates. Together, we’re empowering merchants to scale digital commerce seamlessly and securely while streamlining cash flow.”
Michael Ghandour, Founder & CEO of Kema, added: “The Kema x Telr partnership shatters the myth that card payments are only for consumers. Through Telr, we’ve already processed over $2.5 million in B2B card payments and expect to double this in the next year. By turning every static invoice into a consumer-grade checkout, Kema improves on-time payments by 60% while saving finance teams hundreds of hours.”
This collaboration sets a new benchmark for digital payments in the region, enabling SMEs to leverage automation, compliance, and innovation to transform how they manage receivables and accelerate growth.
