Worldpay, a global payments processing company, and Mastercard, a leading global technology firm in the payments industry, have announced a partnership to streamline money movement for consumers and businesses in the UAE through Mastercard Move.
The collaboration is designed to enhance domestic and cross-border payouts, enabling faster and more secure money transfers. Worldpay’s Push-to-Card solution, powered by Mastercard’s security services and infrastructure, will cover a wide range of use cases including gig economy payments, insurance claims, remittances, and even withdrawals of crypto proceeds.
Worldpay specialises in providing payment processing solutions to merchants worldwide, helping businesses accept card payments, digital wallets, and alternative payment methods. It plays a key role in facilitating e-commerce and point-of-sale transactions across multiple regions. Mastercard, meanwhile, is a global leader in payment technologies, supporting financial institutions, businesses, and consumers with solutions that include card payments, security services, and cross-border transaction infrastructure.
As part of the partnership, consumers in the UAE will gain quicker access to their funds, while businesses benefit from efficient disbursement capabilities without needing to share banking details. Additionally, Worldpay’s merchants can use their acquiring flows to fund payouts, simplifying operations and reducing dependence on multiple service providers.
Worldpay has already rolled out its Push-to-Card solution in the UK, EU, US, and Australia, and this new move marks an expansion into the Middle East. Mastercard Move, the portfolio behind the service, provides banks, non-bank financial institutions, and direct disbursers with money transfer solutions in more than 200 countries and 150+ currencies. Its reach covers more than 95% of the world’s banked population.
“At Mastercard, we are committed to building a digital ecosystem by providing seamless payment options that cater to diverse customer bases and use cases. With Mastercard Move, we’re delivering speed, security, and convenience to Worldpay’s customers in the UAE. This initiative will accelerate the shift toward digital transactions, enhance financial inclusion, and drive innovation in the region,” said Mastercard executive vice president, Market Development, EEMEA, Mete Güney.
“Worldpay plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of payments globally. As one of the first acquirers in the country to enable Mastercard Move, we’re offering individuals and businesses a fast, secure, and convenient way to send and receive funds. This marks a significant step forward in transforming how peer-to-peer and disbursement payments are made in the region,” said Worldpay merchant country leader MEA, Tausif Ahmed.
