Global online payments company Stripe has finally made its way to the Middle East. It announced its official launch in the United Arab Emirates with the opening of its office in Dubai Internet City, on Tuesday. The launch comes after the introduction of its private beta in the country a few months ago. Stripe’s expansion to the Middle East had been in the works since early 2019. It is the second largest online payments player to have expanded to the region in the last six months. Adyen, the Amsterdam-headquartered company, has also opened an office in Dubai to support local payment methods across GCC nations and Egypt.
