In the Global South, the merchant rail is not an upgrade to the checkout. It is the first time the small shop was ever wired in at all.

In MENA, most small merchants ran on cash - not by choice, but because taking a card meant a bank negotiation they would never win.

Paymob, the Cairo-founded payments company, built the rail that lets any shop, site, or stall accept a payment. More than 350,000 merchants across five countries now run on it, taking card, wallet, and QR through a single connection to over 50 payment methods, alongside working capital and faster settlement.

The decision that mattered: wire the small merchant in directly, do not wait for the bank to.
