Dubai - Sharikat Mubasher: Global digital payments provider Visa announced that Visa Acceptance Platform now supports the acceptance of eligible Jaywan debit, credit, and prepaid cards for online transactions across the UAE.

The integration enables participating merchants, acquirers, and payment service providers using the platform to offer Jaywan as a payment option, thereby supporting domestic card payments across a range of digital commerce use cases, the company announced in a recent press release.

Expanding acceptance of Jaywan cards through the Visa Acceptance Platform will support Jaywan Card-on-File network tokenization through the Token Management Service (TMS). This will allow merchants, acquirers, and payment service providers to securely support recurring payments, subscriptions, and other digital commerce use cases.

This milestone builds on a partnership between Visa and Al Etihad Payments to jointly introduce "Jaywan-Visa" debit and prepaid cards in the UAE, enabling cardholders to use their cards globally through Visa's network.

Andrea Cianchetti, chief products officer of Al Etihad Payments, said: “Enabling Jaywan on the Visa Acceptance Platform embeds the UAE’s domestic card scheme further into the infrastructure supporting digital commerce. It expands the ability of merchants, acquirers, and payment service providers to accept Jaywan online and adds capabilities such as card-on-file and recurring payments. That takes us closer to making Jaywan a natural part of how consumers pay, and businesses accept payments across the UAE.”

The Visa Acceptance Platform brings together payment acceptance, authentication, and tokenization capabilities through a single platform. to help merchants, acquirers, and payment service providers accept and manage digital payments.
