mopay, a global provider of online payment solutions, today announced the successful completion of its large-scale network extension initiative in the Middle East & North African (MENA) region. The absence of alternative payment methods and a lack of customer confidence in conventional payment methods is producing rapid growth in mopay transactions. mopay's MENA coverage includes Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen.

How mopay works
mopay lets you use your phone just like credit cards or cash. With mopay you simply provide your phone number to pay online. The charge will appear on your phone bill. This is how it works:

mopay does not require financial details or even an account. Your phone number does the trick. Purchases via mopay are charged to the phone bill. No additional costs, no registration.

mopay is available in more than 80 countries worldwide supporting 40 languages and reaching more than 4.3 billion consumers.

Paying online in MENA
A big part of the region's online growth is driven through mobile platforms. More than 60 percent of all mobile phones in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia are smartphones – a percentage exceeding even the U.S., where only 44 percent of mobile phones are smartphones.

mopay believe that mobile phones, not only smartphones, are the next-best thing to cash when it comes to paying in MENA. With other online payment methods like credit cards seeing a considerable lack of confidence among consumers, mopay believe that their solution fills that void making a globally proven payment alternative to credit cards or bank transfers now available in 15 MENA countries.
