Ziina, a UAE-based payments platform and Virtuzone, a corporate services provider specialising in company formation, tax, and compliance, have formed a strategic partnership to support UAE businesses’ operational readiness.
The collaboration links company formation with payments infrastructure.
Virtuzone clients can now access Ziina’s payment gateway and acceptance capabilities, enabling merchants to handle transactions both online and in person through a single platform.
Faisal Toukan, Co-Founder and CEO of Ziina, said:
“Through our partnership with Virtuzone, founders can easily deploy Ziina’s payment solutions, enabling them to accept payments, access funds instantly, and manage cash flow with greater control from day one.”
George Hojeige, Group CEO of Virtuzone, added:
“Integrating Ziina into the Virtuzone ecosystem provides our clients with a seamless, regulated solution aligned with the realities of modern commerce in the UAE.”
Ziina offers instant settlement, allowing merchants immediate access to received funds and the ability to transact via the Ziina Card within the app.
The platform supports multiple payment methods, including payment links, QR codes, Tap to Pay, card acceptance, and bank transfers.
Research from Visa indicates that over 70% of UAE merchants reported increased revenue after adopting digital payments.
SMEs account for more than 94% of registered companies and 86 percent of the private sector workforce in the UAE.
The number of registered companies exceeded 1.4 million by the end of 2025, reflecting continued growth driven by non-oil economic reforms, SME initiatives, and regulatory modernisation.
Since its founding, Virtuzone has assisted more than 80,000 entrepreneurs with company formation, accounting, tax, compliance, and advisory services.
