Amazon Payment Services Expands its Services to Bahrain with Benefit

Amazon Payment Services merchants can now accept payments made through Benefit, while continuing to get support for global payment methods. Benefit accepts and processes payments from all locally issued debit cards. Customers in the country can now use their Benefit-enabled cards to shop online with Amazon Payment Services merchants by selecting the Benefit payment option upon checkout.

Commenting on the launch, Peter George, Managing Director for Amazon Payment Services in MENA, said: “Our overarching goal at Amazon Payment Services is to offer convenient, seamless and secure digital payments to our merchants across the region. Our launch in Bahrain supports this vision, helping merchants in the region serve customers and making our offering available to local businesses. Merchants in Bahrain can now access our range of innovative payment products and services to facilitate simple, fast, and secure online payments for their customers.”

He added: “Our expansion into Bahrain represents the next milestone in our journey as Amazon Payment Services, taking the total number of countries we serve in the MENA region to nine. We look forward to working with merchants and partners in the country to facilitate digital payments adoption, in line with Bahrain’s digitization strategy.”
