It was a pleasure meeting so many payment leaders in Riyadh and hearing about your priorities and plans.

The Middle East is a strategic region for OpenWay. Our experience here includes long-term partnerships with leading payment players such as Network International and National Bank of Oman, while our team continues to strengthen OpenWay’s presence and relationships in Saudi Arabia and across the region.

Every bank, processor and fintech has a different agenda — from entering new markets and modernizing payment infrastructure to launching new services and exploring the next wave of payment innovation.

At OpenWay, we work closely with our clients to understand these priorities and help turn them into practical payment solutions.

And the conversation is increasingly about what comes next: AI-enabled payments, digital currencies, real-time payments, next-generation digital wallets, smarter use of payment data, and new customer experiences — while maintaining the scale, security and resilience payment businesses need.

Thank you to everyone who met with the OpenWay team at Money20/20 Middle East. We really value these conversations and look forward to continuing them.

Our next stop is Seamless Middle East in Dubai, 22–24 September. If you are attending, let’s continue the conversation there.
