Postilion, a leading provider of software solutions for self-service banking and payments and a division of S1 Corporation has further expanded its operations in the Middle East region with the opening of new offices in Dubai’s Internet City.

The company has also strengthened its regional professional services and support team that will focus on providing increased levels of support to existing Middle East customers and meeting growing customer demand.

“The payments market in the Middle East is developing very quickly, and we can see this continuing for the foreseeable future. Developments such as EMV compliance, PCI DSS and the move to contactless payments mean that there has been a lot of investment in POS infrastructure across the region, and the banking community will continue to innovate, supporting their merchant customers and winning new business,” said director of International Research Services for Mercator Terry Xie.

“Postilion’s approach, based on open systems and providing integrated POS support, puts the company in a good position to be successful within the Middle East payments market.”

“The Middle East market is growing and maturing rapidly and is a key strategic market for Postilion,” said senior vice-president and general manager, Postilion International, Francois van Schoor.

“Since 2006, Postilion’s customer base in the Middle East has more than doubled. The expansion of our presence in this region will allow us to serve our customers better at a local level and also help drive the adoption of our payment solutions.

“We have established a strong reputation with successful implementations at major banks, retailers and processors in the Middle East and aim to build on this in the coming years,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
