By Puja Sharma

Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of a global technology company, has collaborated with iyzico, a Turkish FinTech company, to support iyzico’s European expansion and the launch of its first cloud-based production platform in the region.

Built on Tencent Cloud’s IaaS infrastructure, the deployment reflects its growing role in supporting regulated financial institutions across Europe’s FinTech ecosystem.

Founded in Türkiye, iyzico provides virtual, in-store and supplier network payment solutions and AI-powered payment technologies to e-commerce, retail and B2B businesses of all sizes.

Building a Financial-Grade Cloud Foundation
To support its European expansion, iyzico required a secure and compliant cloud foundation capable of meeting strict financial regulations while enabling new operational capabilities. This included end-to-end delivery support, from Terraform-based code delivery to hands-on infrastructure setup.

Deployed across Tencent Cloud’s Frankfurt availability zones, the solution delivers reliable, low-latency performance within Europe. The dual availability zone design, combined with rapid database failover and elastic resource scaling, allows iyzico to maintain uninterrupted transaction processing even during peak demand. Tencent Cloud’s local infrastructure presence also supports regulatory compliance while maintaining seamless payment experiences for European consumers.

The collaboration extended from architecture design through automated deployment and operational handover, enabling a rapid production rollout and establishing a secure, scalable foundation for growth. Supported by Tencent Cloud’s responsive, 24hour engineering support throughout proof of concept and migration, the partnership ensured swift issue resolution and a smooth transition from testing to production, accelerating time to market while reducing operational complexity.

Fred Sun, General Manager of Europe, Tencent Cloud International, said: “Supporting iyzico’s expansion across Europe is a shared priority. We are focused on delivering secure, compliant and high-performance infrastructure that enables FinTech innovators like iyzico to scale with confidence and provide seamless payment experiences to millions of customers. This collaboration reflects the growing demand for resilient cloud environments that underpin Europe’s rapidly evolving FinTech ecosystem.”

Şamil Nevruz, CTO of iyzico, said: “Selecting Tencent Cloud was a strategic decision to build our European operations on a secure and scalable foundation. The partnership has strengthened our ability to meet stringent regulatory requirements, scale efficiently and deliver reliable services to our merchants and customers. As we start to grow in Europe, this relationship also provides a platform for further innovation in digital payments.”
