Dubai-based payment orchestration platform MoneyHash has announced a significant collaboration with Mastercard to expand merchant access to its Merchant Cloud platform across the Middle East and Africa. The partnership allows merchants to connect to Mastercard’s Gateway through a single unified API, aiming to simplify integration, streamline operations, and enhance payment performance across regional markets.
Simplifying Complex Integrations
A critical challenge for online businesses scaling in the region is the complexity of integrating with multiple payment providers. This collaboration directly addresses that pain point. By making Mastercard’s Gateway available through MoneyHash’s platform, merchants can now connect directly via a unified API, eliminating cumbersome multiple integrations and significantly shortening their time to market.
Nader Abdelrazik, co-founder & CEO of MoneyHash, commented on the milestone, stating, “Our collaboration with Mastercard represents a significant milestone in our mission to simplify and optimize payment operations for businesses across the region. By enabling direct access to Mastercard Gateway, we are eliminating the complexity that has traditionally held merchants back from scaling their digital operations. We bring together the best of both worlds – our advanced orchestration capabilities and Mastercard’s world-class payment infrastructure – to equip merchants with the tools they need to grow their businesses efficiently and effectively.”
A Strategic Push for Payment Optimization
Beyond simplified integration, the partnership equips merchants with powerful tools for flexibility and control. Businesses can now leverage MoneyHash’s smart routing capabilities to intelligently direct transactions across Mastercard Gateway and other payment providers. This helps optimize transaction success rates, reduce payment failures, and minimize processing costs, directly impacting a merchant’s bottom line.
“At Mastercard, we are committed to collaborating with disruptive fintech players to co-create innovative solutions that enhance the payments landscape and drive the growth of the digital economy in the region,” said Mete Guney, Executive Vice President, Market Development, Mastercard, EEMEA. “Our collaboration with MoneyHash represents a fundamental shift in the way payment infrastructure is delivered by moving from complex direct integrations to convenient unified access, addressing a critical pain point. Together, we aim to support merchants’ digital transformation journeys and enable seamless checkout experiences for online shoppers.”
Unlocking Data-Driven Growth
The collaboration also provides merchants with unified reporting and analytics through a centralized dashboard. This comprehensive visibility into their entire payment operations allows businesses to make data-driven decisions to continuously improve their payment performance. Furthermore, it enables merchants to scale their payment infrastructure securely and reliably as their business grows, backed by the global standards of Mastercard.
