We believe that our aim is naturally aligned with the Kingdom’s 2030 Vision.”

Post-certification, the company’s flagship payment brand -CCAvenue, will establish itself as one of the major payment gateway (PTSP)  for digital transactions in the Saudi Arabian market. The company’s CCAvenue payment gateway solution has done data localisation and hosting within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as well as secured PTSP processing approval from the authorities.

Infibeam’s company has also announced its partnership with SAB, one of Saudi Arabia’s leading banks. This partnership aims to enhance the financial ecosystem in the Kingdom by leveraging Infibeam’s technology and SAB’s extensive banking expertise.
