Jespay opens a regional headquarters in the Dubai International Financial Centre

JesPay, the global leader in payment infrastructure solutions for institutions and banks, announced the expansion of its operations to include the Middle East by opening its regional headquarters in the Dubai International Financial Centre. This step represents an important milestone in Jespay’s international expansion strategy, while strengthening its focus on serving institutional merchants, banks and financial institutions in the region. Its headquarters in the DIFC will support enhanced communication with existing partners, especially as demand for enterprise payment solutions continues to grow.
In parallel with the acceleration of digital commerce activities in the GCC countries, fast-growing companies in a number of sectors, such as aviation, hospitality, e-commerce and financial services, are facing increasing challenges as a result of the multiplicity of regional currencies, changing regulations, and the diversity of local payment methods.
In order to facilitate these processes, the “Jespay” platform for payment management provides a unified and reliable architecture that helps institutions improve approval rates and reduce costs, in addition to simplifying compliance, and smoothly expanding the scope of their operations within the markets of the Gulf countries and the world, while gaining a higher degree of reliability at the institutional level.
“Jespay” plans to take advantage of these advantages, and work closely with banks, bank acquirers, or institutions that deal with merchants to accept payments via credit or debit cards, in addition to networks and system partners at the region level, in order to provide scalable and reliable payment solutions, designed specifically for companies operating in global markets.
“Jespay has been developing payment infrastructure to support high-value enterprise commerce on a global scale for more than a decade,” said Sheetal Lalwani, Co-Founder and COO of JesPay. We are working with a high degree of enthusiasm to bring this expertise to the Middle East, collaborating with merchants, banks, networks and the entire broader ecosystem, to build a secure and scalable payment infrastructure, capable of supporting the region’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
For his part, Chief Business Development Officer at the DIFC Authority, Salman Jafari, said: We are pleased that “Jespay” has joined the most important system in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region for financial services and financial technology. Through its presence in the centre, Jespay will contribute to enhancing the growing digital economy, supporting the role of the DIFC as a catalyst for financial innovation, and affirming Dubai’s position as one of the four best global centers for financial technology.
Commenting on JesPay’s regional focus, Nakul Kothari, President of the Middle East and Asia Pacific Region, said: By establishing our presence in the Middle East through the Dubai International Financial Centre, we are continuing our mission of building innovative payment solutions based on a deep understanding of the local markets. As the region holds huge potential, we are investing in long-term partnerships with companies and banks to help them build a future-ready payment architecture that is scalable across markets.
