VaultsPay, a CBUAE-licensed Retail Payment Services Provider, announced its strategic partnership with SalisPay Technology Services, a payments infrastructure and technology enabler in the MENA region, to launch a comprehensive next-generation payments platform for Merchants, Payment Aggregators, and Enterprise Businesses across the United Arab Emirates.
As VaultsPay’s designated Technical Service Provider (TSP), SalisPay will provide and operate the underlying payments infrastructure powering VaultsPay’s acquiring and merchant services ecosystem. The collaboration combines VaultsPay’s regulated payments capabilities with SalisPay’s robust technology platform to deliver secure, scalable, and future-ready payment acceptance solutions for businesses across the UAE.
The new platform has been designed to support both physical and digital commerce, enabling seamless merchant onboarding, payment acceptance, transaction processing, settlement, reporting, and operational management through a unified infrastructure.
A key differentiator of the platform is its broad payment acceptance capability, enabling merchants to access a wide range of global, regional, and alternative payment methods through a single integration. This includes international card schemes such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and UnionPay; domestic and regional payment networks including Jaywan (UAE), Aani QR (UAE), Himyan (Qatar), Mada (Saudi Arabia), and Maal (Oman); together with leading alternative payment methods such as Alipay+, WeChat Pay, and UPI (India).
Commenting on the partnership, Sailesh Malhotra, CEO of VaultsPay, said:
“This partnership marks an important milestone in VaultsPay’s growth journey. As we continue to expand our acquiring capabilities and merchant reach across the UAE, having a trusted infrastructure partner such as SalisPay provides the scale, reliability, and agility required to support our long-term vision. More importantly, it enables us to offer merchants a comprehensive acceptance ecosystem spanning international card schemes, domestic payment networks, real-time payment methods, and emerging digital payment options. Together, we are committed to delivering secure, accessible, and future-ready payment solutions that contribute to the UAE’s rapidly evolving digital economy.”
Capt. Siva Rajasekhar, Founder & CTO of SalisPay Technology Services, added:
“We are delighted to partner with VaultsPay and support their vision through our payments infrastructure and technology expertise. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to enabling innovation, operational excellence, and seamless payment experiences for businesses across the region. By bringing together global schemes, local payment networks, and alternative payment methods on a single infrastructure layer, we are helping create a more connected and inclusive payments ecosystem.”
The partnership comes at a time when the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a global digital economy and innovation hub. By combining regulated payment services with modern payment infrastructure, VaultsPay and SalisPay aim to support merchants of all sizes with secure, scalable, and efficient payment acceptance capabilities that align with the country’s vision for digital transformation and financial innovation.
The platform is now live and available to VaultsPay clients across the UAE.
This collaboration further highlights the growing importance of partnerships between regulated fintech institutions and payments infrastructure providers in driving the next phase of payment modernization, merchant digitization, and financial inclusion across the UAE and the wider MENA region.
