Geidea 区域扩张,以 SoftPOS 引领创新

Geidea 已迅速拓展至阿联酋和埃及,并带来了颠覆性的解决方案。其 SoftPOS 服务——允许商户直接通过智能手机接受安全的非接触式支付,无需传统 POS 设备——已在沙特和阿联酋推出,埃及紧随其后。此外,与 SDK.finance 的合作已实现 Geidea 核心会计基础设施的现代化,更好地集成了 POS、网关和商户工具,为公司在 MENA 地区的进一步发展奠定基础。

中东金融科技格局在监管改革、高智能手机普及率和数字支付需求的推动下实现了爆炸性增长。仅沙特阿拉伯就提前多年实现了到 2023 年非现金交易占比 70% 的目标——“愿景 2030”和新冠疫情动态加速了这一转变。然而,该行业仍面临严格的监管和牌照负担、对熟练数字人才的争夺、传统技术集成问题以及日益增长的网络安全风险。与此同时,开放银行框架、嵌入式支付和人工智能工具为创新提供了广阔前景。 另见: Geidea: Empowering SMEs and shaping the digital payments.
