Opening an account in a Payment Systems: selection of a Payment System
A payment system is any system used to settle financial domestic and international transactions through the transfer of monetary value. Through payment systems businesses get access to a set of payment tools, allowing them to manage every area of the global business.
State-of-the-art technology and a data-driven strategy, that characterize payment systems, make electronic payments convenient and highly secure. Nowadays payment systems may use cash-substitutes. This includes debit cards, credit cards, electronic funds transfers, direct credits, direct debits, internet banking, etc.
We have a long-term experience in working with over 40 payment systems and are ready to assist you in taking advantage of this convenient payment tool, apart from opening an account in the UAE banks or all banks.
