areeba, a UAE-based provider of payment infrastructure, has entered into a partnership with FOO, a fintech solutions company headquartered in Dubai, to offer a comprehensive, integrated Card-as-a-Service (CaaS) programme aimed at banks and financial technology firms.<\/p>\n

The bundled service is designed to help institutions develop and scale secure card programmes and digital wallets without the need for building complex infrastructure.<\/p>\n

It combines areeba\u2019s modern card issuance platform with FOO\u2019s digital banking capabilities, offering features such as secure digital onboarding, electronic know-your-customer (e-KYC) processes, and tokenisation support for Apple Pay and Google Pay.<\/p>\n

This unified approach is intended to reduce traditional barriers to entry and speed up the time it takes to bring new card products to market.<\/p>\n

The programme targets institutions looking to launch compliant, modern card products that are adaptable and prioritise customer accessibility.<\/p>\n

Maher Mikati, Chief Executive Officer of areeba, commented:<\/p>\n
