Dubai’s Equiti Group, Checkout.com Partner to Revolutionize Global Payments

The partnership is rooted in a shared ambition to address persistent challenges in cross‑border and domestic payment flows. Through seamless integration of Checkout.com’s advanced acquiring network and fraud‑prevention systems, Equiti Pay users will have access to an expanded array of payment methods. These include traditional card deposits and pay‑to‑card transfers, as well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay, all designed to accelerate funding and streamline withdrawals for both individuals and institutions.

For many traders, brokers, and financial services clients who operate in high‑velocity markets, speed and reliability are not just conveniences, they are business imperatives. Delays or inefficiencies in client funding can disrupt operations and erode trust. By leveraging Checkout.com’s global reach, Equiti is setting new expectations around transaction performance, with improvements in authorization rates and reduced friction in payment acceptance.

Gareth Bateman, Equiti Group Head of Payments, highlighted the benefits of the partnership, saying: "This partnership enables Equiti to leverage Checkout.com's global acquiring network; enhancing authorization rates, reducing transaction friction and optimizing payment acceptance for our brokerages and clients."

On the other side of the partnership, Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo, General Manager for MENA at Checkout.com, expressed enthusiasm about the potential to enhance Equiti’s payment services across diverse markets. "This partnership enables Equiti to leverage Checkout.com's global acquiring network; enhancing authorization rates, reducing transaction friction and optimizing payment acceptance for our brokerages and clients. We are thrilled to partner with Equiti to enhance their payment capabilities across local and global markets."

Beyond the technology itself, this partnership represents a larger shift in how financial institutions approach client relationships. In an era where customers expect instant access to their funds and seamless transactions across borders, traditional payment systems often fall short. By modernizing its infrastructure, Equiti is not just keeping pace with expectations, it is aiming to redefine what clients consider standard in fintech services.

For many Equiti clients, the improvements will be felt on a very human level. Faster deposits mean less waiting and more flexibility, while enhanced fraud protection provides peace of mind. It’s a reminder that behind every technical upgrade, there are real people relying on these services to manage their finances, investments, and livelihoods. The partnership demonstrates how fintech innovation can translate directly into everyday benefits for end users.

The strategic alliance between Equiti Group and Checkout.com underscores a broader trend in financial services, namely the shift toward automated, data‑driven payment ecosystems that prioritize client experience and operational resilience. Through this initiative, Equiti Pay is positioned to not only meet growing client demand but also to strengthen its competitive edge in a market where technological capability is increasingly synonymous with market leadership.

For a company that operates across multiple continents and regulatory environments, simplifying and accelerating money movement is a critical step toward seamless client experiences.
