A new multi-year partnership between MoneyHash and Visa is expected to strengthen how businesses in the Middle East and North Africa handle digital payments. The agreement focuses on integrating Visa’s Cybersource into MoneyHash’s platform, giving merchants easier and more efficient access to global and local payment systems.
This development builds on an earlier partnership announced in 2024 and reflects a shared effort to create secure, scalable and high-performance payment systems across the region. By improving how payments are managed, the initiative is expected to help businesses grow, reduce costs and reach more customers.
Expanding Access and Simplifying Payments
Through this integration, merchants using MoneyHash will be able to access Visa’s global payment infrastructure alongside a wide range of local and international payment methods through a single connection. This removes the need for businesses to manage multiple payment providers separately, which can often slow down operations.
The goal is to make payment systems simpler and more effective. Businesses can expect improved authorisation rates, wider payment acceptance and faster time to launch new products or services. This is especially important in fast-growing markets where speed and reliability are key.
Nader Abdelrazik, CEO of MoneyHash, explained the importance of the partnership, saying, “This partnership reflects the natural evolution of our relationship with Visa – from collaboration to deeper infrastructure alignment.” He added, “By enabling Cybersource within MoneyHash’s platform, we’re giving merchants in MENA and beyond the ability to access Visa’s global capabilities while maintaining full control, flexibility and performance optimization through orchestration.”
Supporting Growth and Digital Commerce
The collaboration combines Visa’s global acceptance network with MoneyHash’s routing and optimisation tools. This allows businesses to improve transaction success rates, reduce processing costs and increase revenue through better conversion and failure recovery.
It also strengthens MoneyHash’s role as a central infrastructure layer between merchants and payment providers. Through a single application programming interface, businesses can manage and optimise their entire payment system without the complexity of handling multiple integrations.
As demand grows for flexible and efficient payment solutions, the partnership positions both companies to support the next phase of digital commerce in emerging markets. By making payments more reliable and easier to manage, the initiative is set to play a key role in helping businesses scale and compete more effectively across the MENA region.
