CCAvenue: Securing you digitally

How businesses are smoothly transition­ing to online payments during this crisis

-

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.
