Join this exciting new event in a dynamic growth region

Market opportunities are emerging across the commercial cards and payments space in the Middle East & Africa. New technologies – such as blockchain – are driving commercial payments forward, while entry in to the market from fintech start-ups are offering greater efficiency, visibility and security to corporates in the region. At the same time, the payment needs of the middle market segment in the Middle East are evolving, creating great potential for growth in the commercial cards and payments industry.
