Ziina, the UAE’s leading homegrown consumer and business payments platform, has entered into a strategic partnership with Virtuzone to strengthen the operational readiness of UAE businesses.
Virtuzone is a corporate services provider specializing in company formation, tax, and compliance in the UAE.
The partnership connects company formation with payments infrastructure. Virtuzone businesses gain access to Ziina’s payment gateway and acceptance capabilities, allowing merchants to accept and manage transactions across both online and in-person channels through a unified platform.
Faisal Toukan, Co-Founder and CEO of Ziina, stated that, “Entrepreneurs launching businesses prioritize speed, simplicity, and early revenue generation. Through our partnership with Virtuzone, founders can easily deploy our payment solutions, enabling them to accept payments, access funds instantly, and manage cash flow with greater control from day one.”
George Hojeige, Group CEO of Virtuzone, commented that, “Company formation and corporate services are fundamentally about enabling businesses to become operational with speed, while ensuring full compliance and a robust foundation for scalable growth.”
“Payment acceptance represents a critical component of that readiness. Integrating Ziina into the Virtuzone ecosystem provides our clients with a seamless, regulated solution aligned with the realities of modern commerce in the UAE,” Hojeige added.
With the UAE platform’s instant settlement, merchants gain immediate access to received funds, enabling businesses to transact and spend via the Ziina Card directly within the app. This level of liquidity control is vital for SMEs’ operational efficiency and financial stability. Settlement speed and fund visibility directly influence how businesses manage expenses, suppliers, and ongoing financial commitments.
Furthermore, Ziina’s platform supports multiple acceptance methods, including payment links, QR code payments, Tap to Pay, card acceptance, and bank transfers.
