It was a pleasure to welcome Dr. Sultan Al-Ahbabi, Independent Non-Executive Director and Chair of @Worldpay_Global’s UAE Board, and Tausif Ahmed, Country Leader for the Middle East and Africa, to @DMCCAuthority . As one of our valued member companies, @Worldpay_Global represents the calibre of global enterprise strengthening Dubai’s position as a leading hub for commerce, innovation, and digital trade. Since receiving its UAE domestic acquiring licence in 2023, it has combined a growing local presence with the global capabilities needed to support UAE businesses expanding internationally and global companies entering the market. Following @Worldpay_Global’s combination with @GlobalPayInc , the group now serves more than six million merchant locations and processes approximately 94 billion transactions, representing US$3.7 trillion in annual payment volume, across more than 175 countries. Our discussion identified practical opportunities across DMCC’s ecosystem. Through @dmccfinx , WorldPay can engage with banks, fintech firms, and trading companies to explore cross-border payments, merchant acquiring, and embedded finance. DMCC Tradeflow offers scope to connect secure payment and payout infrastructure with commodity registration, collateralisation, and trade-finance workflows. Within @dmcccrypto, @Worldpay_Global’s experience in card-to-crypto payments, global payouts, and stablecoin settlement can inform compliant solutions connecting traditional and digital finance. Through @DGCX , there is potential to combine World Pay’s global payment reach and transaction insights with currency and commodity risk-management capabilities, helping cross-border businesses identify and manage exposures arising from international payment flows. We are proud to have WorldPay within the @DMCCAuthority community and look forward to translating these opportunities into practical partnerships supporting Dubai and the UAE’s leadership in commerce, technology, and financial innovation.
