The tie-up with Checkout.com will enable mada cardholders and merchants to make online transactions.

The online payments firm expects the move to boost e-commerce growth, as more than one billion transactions are routed annually via mada.

Checkout.com VP of business development for MENA Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo said: “mada is one of the fastest growing payment systems in the region and our partnership will help drive the already strong growth of e-commerce in the Kingdom. Incorporating the mada network into the Checkout.com platform allows Flyin.com – and other businesses that operate in the region – to offer consumers a more diverse and convenient range of payment choices.”

Checkout.com uses proprietary payment technology to link e-commerce firms with credit and debit cards and alternative payment methods. The firm currently processes payments in more than 150 currencies.
