Telr, a leading payment gateway provider, has received a Retail Payment Services (RPS) licence from the UAE Central Bank. This approval strengthens Telr’s ability to support merchants with secure and compliant payment solutions.
Telr: Expanding Digital Payment Services
With this license, The Comapny can improve its merchant acquiring and payment aggregation services. The company operates in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Jordan, offering solutions such as e-wallet integrations, buy now pay later (BNPL) services, and financing.
As a PCI-certified gateway, Telr facilitates transactions across web, mobile, and social media platforms. It enables merchants to accept payments through Visa, Mastercard, American Express, UnionPay, JCB, Apple Pay, PayPal, Samsung Pay, SADAD, Mada, STC Pay, and urpay.
Strengthening Regional Commerce
Khalil Alami, Telr’s Founder and CEO, expressed gratitude for the Central Bank’s recognition. He stated, “This achievement solidifies our role as a pioneer in digital payments. It drives innovation and empowers businesses in an increasingly cashless economy.”
In January 2025, Telr partnered with Apaya to accelerate digital commerce in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This collaboration integrates Telr’s payment solutions with Apaya’s no-code commerce automation platform. It simplifies transactions for merchants and enhances their payment capabilities.
Founded in 2014, The Comapny now supports transactions in over 120 currencies. This reinforces its position as a key player in the region’s digital payments sector.
