The payment system company is used by businesses to process transactions, including in point of sale (POS) terminals, eCommerce, mobile payment and other non-cash payments.

Arcapita operates in the GCC, Singapore, the UK and the US while the Turkish fintech firm operates in the UAE, Luxemburg and the US. Mashreq Bank said that further announcements will be made in due course.

Mashreq Bank has completed the transition of its existing payments business into IDFAA Payment Services LLC, with a brand name NEOPAY, in 2022.

NEOPAY has fuelled the growth of Mashreq’s payments business in the last three years as it leveraged the latest technology and innovation, including card processing and merchant acquiring systems, processing switches and PoS inventory to offer a seamless payments experience to merchants and consumers.
