Comera Pay, one of the digital payment divisions of Comera Financial Holdings, a subsidiary of Royal Group, has officially launched its payment solution in the UAE, in collaboration with Arab Financial Services (AFS). This collaboration aims to empower businesses across the country with modern, secure, and scalable payment acceptance tools.
The newly launched solution is tailored for businesses of all sizes, from small retailers to large enterprises. It supports a wide range of payment methods including chip and PIN, contactless cards, payment gateway service, mobile wallets, and QR payments. The solution also integrates key operational features such as real-time transaction tracking, daily settlement summaries, and seamless reconciliation making it a complete business enablement tool, not just a payment device.
This initiative reinforces Comera Pay’s commitment to simplifying finance through technology. Known for its digital wallet, remittance services, and growing suite of financial offerings, Comera Pay is now extending its reach into merchant services enabling business owners to accept payments more efficiently while enhancing customer experience at the point of sale.

Our payment solution is designed to serve the evolving needs of businesses in today’s digital-first marketplace, with simplicity, speed, and security at its core.”
AFS CEO, Samer Soliman, said: “I am excited about this partnership, which is the perfect match of Comera Pay’s fresh thinking and AFS’s established reach. Agility only truly works when you have the scale to back it up., and by bringing our organisations together, we’re giving our clients a real edge with faster, borderless connectivity across the region.
With AFS it ensures enterprise-grade infrastructure and regulatory compliance, backed by decades of experience in merchant acquiring and digital payment innovation across the MENA region. Together, the two companies are setting a new standard for digital payment acceptance in the UAE.
This rollout is part of a broader strategic vision to offer integrated financial services that include payments, SME lending, supply chain finance, and value-added merchant solutions. Backed by the strength and trust of Royal Group, Comera Pay is uniquely positioned to scale across the region with both credibility and innovation.
The launch of the payment process solution is the first step in a larger roadmap that includes loyalty integrations, merchant credit lines, and full-service business support all within one seamless digital platform.
