CCAvenue The Covid-19 pandemic has precipitated a strong push towards digitisation of payments in the Middle East as consumers have started moving away from the usage of physical cash due to heightened safety concerns.

With steadfast support from government authorities for cashless transactions, digital payment facilitators such as CCAvenue are playing a crucial role in the region by enabling businesses to accept payments securely from customers through multiple payment modes including ApplePay, SamsungPay and payment features as easy as clicking a payment link received through SMS.

In the current scenario, educational institutions have started offering e-learning courses, and CCAvenue is enabling many of these entities to accept online payments from students and parents from the convenience and safety of their homes. Its real estate clients have also witnessed a strong surge in e-transactions as most of them are encouraging online payments for service fees and other charges. CCAvenue has a 20-year successful track record in India, serving over a million web merchants in the country.

In 2014, the company collaborated with Mashreq Bank to launch advanced payment gateway services for e-businesses in the UAE. After gaining a strong foothold in the emirates, CCAvenue started operations in Saudi Arabia in 2019.

Presently, CCAvenue caters to thousands of online businesses across the segments in the region including At the Top - Burj Khalifa, Nakheel Properties, Manipal Academy Dubai, Fujairah Municipality and 6thstreet.com to name a few. The company has also launched the GoRecharge app that enables convenient online recharge of mobile and data card services from the safe comfort of their homes for top telecom companies in UAE, India and various other countries catering to the local and expatriate population in UAE.
