How to balance speed and security – while meeting customer expectations in the Middle East
Account-to-account (A2A) payments are rapidly evolving across the Middle East as governments roll out instant payment schemes, while open banking standards accelerate across the region. As consumer expectations rise for fast, frictionless, and secure payment experiences, financial institutions face the pressure to innovate—without compromising trust.
In parallel, the region is seeing increasing trade volumes and growing cross-border opportunities, supported by government-backed diversification. Add to that the global shift to ISO 20022 and a surge in fintech-led customer experience innovations, and the stakes for modernisation have never been higher.
In this eBook, we unpack the current state of A2A in the Middle East and explore the challenges—and opportunities—facing the sector today.
