Stake, one of the leading digital and global real estate investment platforms, has launched Pay to Card withdrawal feature powered by global digital payments company, Checkout.com.
The new Pay to Card withdrawal feature enables investors to receive their dividends and returns directly to their bank cards, often in just minutes, marking a major step forward in delivering faster, frictionless investing experiences.
The rollout of Pay to Card withdrawal feature follows a successful pilot phase in May, during which more than 200 investors used the feature. Some users reported receiving payouts in under 10 minutes, a significant improvement over traditional multi-day withdrawal cycles.
“Speed and trust are core to everything we do at Stake. With Pay to Card, we’re eliminating unnecessary delays and putting returns in our investors’ hands almost instantly. This feature was built to directly solve one of the most common pain points in real estate investing, and it’s already driving strong results.”
The Pay to Card withdrawal feature launch comes at a time when the MENA region is seeing unprecedented acceleration in digital finance adoption. According to Checkout.com’s latest report, “The State of Digital Commerce in MENA 2025”, the Account Funding Transactions (AFTs), a core enabler of Pay to Card have surged 388 percent year-on-year in the UAE, highlighting rising demand for real-time payout infrastructure.
Checkout.com also recorded a 176 percent increase in Total Processing Volume (TPV) in the UAE from 2023 to 2024, while daily online shopping has jumped 320 percent since 2020.
As of June 2025, Stake surpassed $272 million (AED 1 billion) in property transactions since its launch in 2021, with the company’s mission to democratize access to real estate investment across high-growth markets.

Pay to Card is now live for all Stake investors across the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom, bringing faster, simpler access to returns while reinforcing the platform’s commitment to innovation and transparency.
