By Gloria Methri

Yuno, the US-based payment orchestration platform, has partnered with Qatari super app Snoonu to elevate its payment infrastructure and efficiency in digital transactions.

The move follows Yuno’s announcement about the opening of its Middle East regional headquarters in Qatar.

Yuno has teamed up with Snoonu to bring advanced payment orchestration technology to this app, which offers fast delivery of food, groceries, electronics, and more to shoppers in Qatar. The platform enables access to over 1,000 locally relevant and global payment methods through a single integration. It helps optimise merchants’ payment infrastructure across 200 countries, enhancing transaction approval rates, reducing friction in the payment process, and providing their customers with greater flexibility and enhanced security for payment transactions.

Yuno’s establishment of its headquarters in Qatar will solidify its commitment to supporting digital commerce, business growth and FinTech innovation in the region. With this critical move, Yuno will provide localised support to Snoonu and other businesses looking to optimise their payment infrastructure and scale more efficiently.

Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-founder and CEO of Yuno, said, “This partnership aligns perfectly with Yuno’s mission to enable global commerce by simplifying payments for businesses around the globe. The partnership is an important part of our expansion into the Middle East, which also includes plans to open our regional headquarters in Qatar, as we aim to help empower businesses across the entire region with the best payment solutions available.”

‍Hamad Mubarak Al Hajri, CEO of Snoonu, added, “At Snoonu, we are constantly looking for ways to enhance our user experience. Partnering with Yuno allows us to offer seamless, secure, and flexible payment solutions, reinforcing our position as Qatar’s leading super app.”

Yuno’s expansion into the Middle East marks a key step in the company’s ambitious global growth strategy and reinforces its position as a leader in global payment orchestration. Since launching in Latin America in 2022, Yuno has scaled rapidly, expanding into Asia, Europe, and the United States, in addition to this latest region.
