UAE-based online payment gateway Telr has announced the integration of Jaywan, the UAE’s national card payment scheme, across its entire merchant network. The move aims to broaden payment acceptance for businesses and support the country’s push towards a more robust digital economy.
Quick Facts
- Telr merchants can now accept Jaywan cards.
- Jaywan is the UAE’s domestic card scheme.
- It was launched by Al Etihad Payments.
Bolstering the UAE’s Financial Infrastructure
Jaywan was introduced by Al Etihad Payments, a subsidiary of the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), as a secure, locally-operated payment solution. The scheme is a key component of the UAE’s strategy to enhance its financial infrastructure and accelerate the national shift to a cashless society.
By integrating Jaywan, Telr enables its merchants to process transactions from the domestic card scheme, offering customers more ways to pay while ensuring faster and more streamlined checkouts.
Expanding Options for UAE Merchants
The addition of Jaywan is expected to provide new growth opportunities for businesses on the Telr platform, allowing them to tap into a wider customer base that uses the national card.
Khalil Alami, Founder and CEO of Telr, stated, “Jaywan reflects a smarter way to pay, built for the UAE market. By enabling it across our platform, we are expanding our network, delivering seamless transactions at scale, empowering customers, and strengthening the overall payment experience.”
This integration allows Telr merchants to operate more efficiently and compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving digital market.
