MoneyHash, a payment orchestration platform, has entered into a partnership with Eazy Financial Services (EazyPay), a Central Bank of Bahrain-licensed provider based in Bahrain. This collaboration enhances MoneyHash’s network of regulated financial partners in the region and allows both local and international merchants to benefit from locally licensed acquiring services through a unified management layer.
EazyPay is one of the first PSPs under CBB licensing regulations to be integrated into MoneyHash’s ecosystem, highlighting its regulatory importance within the Bahrain market where such partnerships are essential for compliant operations.
Expanding regulated infrastructure in Bahrain
The demand for digital payment solutions in Bahrain has been on the rise, driven by increasing adoption of mobile payments. For businesses looking to enter or expand their presence in this market, access to a locally licensed acquiring service is now not just desirable but necessary.
Through this partnership, MoneyHash merchants can leverage EazyPay’s extensive capabilities, which include point-of-sale (POS) terminals, SoftPOS systems, and an online payment gateway compatible with debit and credit cards as well as digital wallets like Apple Pay and BenefitPay. These solutions support both brick-and-mortar retail environments and e-commerce platforms.
From a technical perspective, MoneyHash’s platform facilitates seamless transaction routing across various providers, enabling merchants to monitor payment performance and manage their payment infrastructure efficiently without the need for repeated onboarding processes in each market they enter. The integration with EazyPay in Bahrain adheres to this model, allowing businesses to gain local acquiring access without additional technical setup.
Strategic alignment within the regional context
The partnership underscores a broader trend in the Gulf region towards enhanced digital banking and integrated payment ecosystems, complemented by regulatory measures that facilitate such developments. The Central Bank of Bahrain has been actively licensing non-bank payment service providers, making EazyPay’s integration with MoneyHash’s network consistent with these regulatory advancements.
For EazyPay, this collaboration expands its reach to the global and regional merchant base served by MoneyHash, especially those operating across multiple markets and needing scalable, unified payment infrastructure.
A representative from MoneyHash noted that local control over payment routing and scalability is crucial for growth in markets like Bahrain. The partnership with EazyPay aims to provide this operational flexibility at a local level while supporting broader regional expansion strategies.
This collaboration illustrates the increasing role of orchestration platforms in emerging markets by simplifying access to complex local payment ecosystems, allowing businesses to enter new territories more efficiently without the burden of extensive technical groundwork. In Bahrain’s case, this means connecting merchants to a regulated acquirer, embracing digital wallet solutions with local popularity, and ensuring compatibility with the evolving financial landscape.
