Fahad Alakeel, Managing Director. Saudi Payments

 

In Europe, we operated and managed 8 different electronic payment systems. Such context was preventing us to provide rapidly to our customers the newest payment solutions available. The goal was therefore to find a common European solution, easily and quickly scalable, reducing our strong dependency from the different suppliers – terminal providers and bank acquirers. By supporting the strategic views and the creation of SEPA by the European Commission and the European Central Bank, adopting the nexo Acquirer standard became the obvious choice for us.
