Adyen Roundtable

Secure Cross-Border Money Transfers with Adyen’s All-in-One Fintech Platform

Adyen is the financial technology platform of choice for leading businesses worldwide. Our single global platform combines payments, data insights, and financial products to help companies scale faster and operate more efficiently.

In the MVTS space, Adyen powers international money movement for companies such as Careem Pay, Taptap Send, and Western Union, supporting secure and seamless cross-border transfers at scale.

Helping your customers remit the way they want

The landscape for Money or Value Transfer Services (MVTS) is shifting rapidly. As Dubai accelerates toward its D33 Economic Agenda goal of transitioning from a cash-based to a cashless economy, the way companies manage remittances is becoming a core strategic differentiator.

We’d like to invite you to an intimate, closed-door roundtable to discuss how leading MVTS providers are evolving their infrastructure. We’ll be discussing:

  • Supporting the D33 Vision: Moving the banking sector from cash to digital, aiming for a 90% cashless society by 2026.
  • The Power of a Single Partner: How global companies find success and operational simplicity by relying on one integrated provider rather than a fragmented stack.
  • A "Total Journey" Experience: How linking online and in-person payments into one unified view, without the typical complexity of legacy systems increases your transactions and makes you understand your customers better
  • Performance & Cost Optimization: Leveraging transparent Interchange++ pricing and global acquiring to reduce fees and boost authorization rates.
