A significant new partnership between Telr, a leading online payment gateway, and Kema, a UAE-based fintech platform, is set to transform B2B financial operations for small and medium enterprises across the region. This strategic alliance merges Telr’s extensive payment infrastructure with Kema’s specialized SaaS solutions, creating a powerful system designed to automate and optimize cash flow management for businesses.
The collaboration grants Kema’s merchants immediate access to Telr’s robust payment tools, which facilitate transactions in more than 120 currencies and 30 languages. A key feature of this service is the assurance of regulatory compliance, backed by Telr’s Retail Payment Services License from the UAE Central Bank. This foundation guarantees that all payments are processed securely and smoothly, providing businesses with essential peace of mind.
On the Kema side of the equation, the platform offers a suite of intelligent finance tools. Businesses can instantly generate invoices, embed secure payment links, dispatch automated reminders, and monitor receivables in real-time. To ensure a frictionless setup, Kema provides integrated plug-ins with major accounting software, including QuickBooks, Xero, and Microsoft Dynamics, making the onboarding process quick and efficient.
Khalil Alami, Founder and CEO of Telr, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership’s potential. He stated that by joining forces with Kema, they are delivering powerful local and international payment options characterized by top-tier security and competitive pricing. The ultimate goal is to empower merchants to scale their digital commerce operations seamlessly while streamlining their overall cash flow.
Echoing this sentiment, Michael Ghandour, Founder and CEO of Kema, highlighted how the partnership challenges conventional thinking. He pointed out that the collaboration dispels the outdated notion that card payments are solely for consumer use. Through the integration with Telr, Kema has already processed over $2.5 million in B2B card payments, with expectations to double that volume within the next year. By transforming standard invoices into a consumer-grade checkout experience, Kema has demonstrated a remarkable 60% improvement in on-time payments, while also saving finance teams hundreds of valuable hours.
This partnership establishes a new standard for digital payments in the UAE, equipping SMEs with the tools they need to harness automation, maintain compliance, and drive innovation. The combined offering is poised to fundamentally change how businesses manage receivables and accelerate their growth trajectories.
