Geidea’s recent expansion into the UAE follows its launch into the Egyptian market in June 2021 and forms a part of its vision to make payments and commerce technology more accessible, affordable and intuitive. As part of its expansion, Geidea has partnered with the payment solutions provider Magnati for acquiring, issuer processing and acquiring processing.

Magnati’s tailored payment solutions will allow merchants to accept a wider variety of digital payments via a secure and single API integrated platform. “In line with our vision to deliver strong value to our partnerships, we are proud to collaborate with Geidea, who will simplify payment acceptance through Magnati’s payment solutions,” said Ramana Kumar , CEO of Magnati.
