Equiti Group, a Dubai-based fintech firm, has partnered with Checkout.com to expand Equiti Pay’s payment capabilities and improve acceptance rates.

The partnership enables card deposits, pay-to-card transfers, and support for digital wallets including Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as cross-border transactions.

Clients can expect faster funding, smoother withdrawals, and a broader range of payment options, with improved speed and reliability for time-sensitive domestic and international transactions.

The collaboration combines Checkout.com’s global acquiring network and fraud-prevention technology with Equiti’s data-driven approach.

Checkout.com uses AI and recent innovations to deliver scalable payment solutions, while Equiti brings market knowledge and client demand, creating a more robust payments ecosystem.

Gareth Bateman, Equiti Group Head of Payments, said:

“This partnership enables Equiti to leverage Checkout.com’s global acquiring network; enhancing authorisation rates, reducing transaction friction and optimising payment acceptance for our brokerages and clients.”

Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo, General Manager, MENA at Checkout.com, added:

“Through this partnership, we aim to help Equiti accelerate funding, streamline withdrawals, and expand cross-border capabilities, enabling their business to grow faster and serve clients more efficiently.”

The partnership supports Equiti’s goal of automating payments and advancing client funding and money movement in financial services.
