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.

  • The internal and external pressures shaping A2A payments

  • How leading PSPs and banks are navigating regulatory uncertainty

  • Why siloed data is holding institutions back—and how to fix it

  • How to make build vs. buy decisions for sustainable A2A strategies
  • The power of AI, open APIs, and ISO 20022 for fraud prevention and innovation​

We examine the options and expand on how we can make the most of the A2A opportunity.
