Bridging Company Formation and Financial Infrastructure

Ziina equips these merchants with multiple transaction methods, including payment links, QR codes, Tap to Pay, standard card acceptance, and bank transfers.
The platform also features instant settlement capabilities, granting merchants immediate access to received funds and allowing them to transact via the in-app Ziina Card.
Access to digital financial tools has a proven impact on bottom-line growth. Recent research from Visa indicates that over 70% of UAE merchants reported increased revenue after adopting digital payment systems.
