Powering eCommerce In MEA: Payment Innovation, Market Insights & What’s Next
Webinar

eCommerce in MEA is growing fast — but growth alone isn’t enough.
As eCommerce surges across the Middle East and Africa, payment leaders face a unique challenge — building infrastructure that’s as dynamic as the markets they serve.

From mobile-first consumers to regional preferences in payment methods, success in MEA means understanding the nuances of the ecosystem and being ready for what’s next — from real-time rails and embedded payments to smarter data use and social commerce.

Join FS Club for a 45-minute webinar featuring experts from Compass Plus Technologies, including Adil Ahmed (VP & Deputy Managing Director, MEA) and Eyad Almaaitah (VP, Global Product Management). Together with Hugh Morris, they’ll explore how fintechs, PSPs, and financial institutions can better support merchants, streamline experiences, and unlock growth across MEA.

What we’ll cover:

  • Where eCommerce is growing fastest in MEA — and how mobile-first behaviour is reshaping expectations
  • Payment preferences across the region — and how they differ between the Middle East and Africa
  • Embedded payments, API-first strategies, and real-time innovation
  • The rise of social commerce — and what it means for payments
  • Core platform capabilities — from orchestration and tokenisation to simplified merchant integration
  • Smarter use of payments data — for performance, personalisation and optimisation
  • Live Q&A with industry experts

Who should attend?

Payments professionals, fintechs, PSPs, product and platform leaders, and financial institutions looking to scale smarter in MEA.
