Payment gateways

Card checkout follows the company country, not the founder’s passport. We map the gateway to the entity we formed and prepare the file the provider actually reviews.

Every processor on this page is one we brief against companies we form. The list is the union of those country pages — Stripe and PayPal where the merchant country allows it, Gulf and Asian acquirers where it does not, and local PKR processors for a Pakistan company. Approvals are decided by the providers.

How we work

From shortlist to a filed application

  1. 1

    Match

    We shortlist the gateway that fits the company country, the licence, and what you sell.

  2. 2

    Prepare

    We put a live site, company email, and the KYC pack in the shape the provider reviews.

  3. 3

    Submit

    We file and stay with the application. The provider decides.

International

These are the processors we brief first when the company sits in a merchant country they support. Approval is decided by the provider.

  • Stripe

    www.stripe.com

    Stripe is the card processor most international software and e-commerce companies apply for. Merchant availability follows the country of the company, not the founder’s nationality. A Pakistan-registered company cannot apply as a Stripe merchant.

    We brief this on 44 countries we form in, including United Kingdom, United States, and Estonia.

    How we help

    We form the company in a Stripe merchant country, put a live site and company-domain email on the file, and prepare the application. Stripe decides.

  • PayPal Business

    www.paypal.com

    PayPal Business is a merchant account in the company’s name. Country eligibility typically tracks Stripe’s. A personal PayPal wallet is not a business merchant account.

    We brief this on 44 countries we form in, including United Kingdom, United States, and Estonia.

    How we help

    We prepare the corporate documents, website, and email that PayPal reviews, and we submit in the company’s name. PayPal decides.

  • Payoneer

    www.payoneer.com

    Payoneer is a receiving account used by exporters and by companies in countries that cannot take a native Stripe merchant account. It is also a practical path while a card gateway is pending.

    We brief this on 16 countries we form in, including Pakistan, Georgia, and Armenia.

    How we help

    We match Payoneer to the entity (or to a Pakistan export profile where that is the brief), prepare KYC, and stay with the file through review. Payoneer decides.

Middle East

Gulf and Turkish processors usually need a licensed local company and a corporate account. Freelance or e-trader permits are a weak file.

  • Telr

    www.telr.com

    Telr is a UAE-based payment gateway used by licensed companies that need card acquiring in the Gulf, including Mada and regional schemes where Telr supports them.

    We brief this on United Arab Emirates companies.

    How we help

    We form the UAE (or other Gulf) company, open the corporate account the acquirer expects, and prepare the Telr file. Telr decides.

  • PayTabs

    www.paytabs.com

    PayTabs is a MENA acquirer for licensed companies selling into the Gulf and North Africa. Settlement is typically in the company’s local bank account.

    We brief this on United Arab Emirates companies.

    How we help

    We align the trade licence, website, and bank account with what PayTabs reviews, then submit. PayTabs decides.

  • Amazon Payment Services

    paymentservices.amazon.com

    Amazon Payment Services (formerly Payfort) is Amazon’s acquiring stack for MENA. It is a payment gateway for licensed merchants, not Amazon Seller Central.

    We brief this on United Arab Emirates companies.

    How we help

    We confirm the licence type can support acquiring, prepare the corporate pack, and introduce the application. Amazon Payment Services decides.

  • iyzico

    www.iyzico.com

    iyzico is the usual card processor for Turkish companies taking local cards. Stripe is not the native merchant path on a Turkish entity.

    We brief this on Turkey companies.

    How we help

    We form the Turkish company, prepare the iyzico KYC pack, and stay with the file. iyzico decides.

  • PayTR

    www.paytr.com

    PayTR is a Turkish virtual POS used alongside or instead of iyzico, depending on the product and the bank relationship.

    We brief this on Turkey companies.

    How we help

    We shortlist PayTR against iyzico for the Turkish entity, prepare documents, and submit. PayTR decides.

  • Mada

    www.mada.com.sa

    Mada is Saudi Arabia’s national debit scheme. Merchants typically take Mada through a local acquirer or a MENA gateway that supports the scheme — not through a native Stripe merchant account.

    We brief this on Saudi Arabia companies.

    How we help

    We form the Saudi company, introduce a local acquirer or Amazon Payment Services where that is the brief, and prepare the file. The acquirer decides.

  • Benefit

    www.benefit.bh

    Benefit is Bahrain’s national payment switch. Local cards on a Bahraini company usually run through Benefit and a domestic acquirer.

    We brief this on Bahrain companies.

    How we help

    We form the Bahraini company and prepare the acquiring file the bank or switch requires. The provider decides.

Africa

African acquiring is local. Stripe’s extended network (Paystack) covers some markets; others use Flutterwave, PayFast, Peach, or mobile money.

  • Paystack

    paystack.com

    Paystack is Stripe’s extended network in Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and Kenya. It is the card processor we brief on those companies, not a native Stripe merchant account in the US or UK sense.

    We brief this on South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria companies.

    How we help

    We form the local company, prepare the Paystack file, and stay through review. Paystack decides.

    flutterwave.com

    Flutterwave is a pan-African processor used heavily by Nigerian companies, with coverage that can extend to other markets on their current list.

    We brief this on South Africa companies.

    M-Pesa is Kenya’s dominant mobile-money rail. Kenyan companies that sell locally usually need M-Pesa acquiring in addition to, or instead of, cards.

    We brief this on Kenya companies.

    How we help

    We form the Kenyan company and prepare the M-Pesa business file with Safaricom (or the relevant operator). The operator decides.

Asia

Southeast and East Asian companies generally take cards through a domestic processor. Stripe is limited or unavailable as a merchant country in several of these markets.

    We form the Korean company and prepare the Toss Payments file. Toss decides.

  • NHN KCP

    www.kcp.co.kr

    NHN KCP is a long-standing Korean PG (payment gateway) used for domestic cards. Many Korean checkouts still run through KCP or a peer PG.

    We brief this on South Korea companies.

    How we help

    We form the Korean company and introduce a local PG such as KCP or Toss. The PG decides.

Pakistan

A Pakistan-registered company cannot apply for Stripe as a merchant. Local PKR checkout and export receiving are the two usual paths.

  • JazzCash

    www.jazzcash.com.pk

    JazzCash is a Pakistani mobile-wallet and merchant rail for PKR collections. It is for the Pakistan company, not a substitute for a foreign Stripe account.

    How we help

    We form the Pakistan company and prepare the PayFast merchant application against the Pakistani bank account and website. PayFast decides.

Domestic bank acquiring

Some Gulf companies take cards through the company’s bank rather than a named international gateway. There is no single logo: the acquirer is the bank that holds the account.

  • LB

    Local bank acquiring

    Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and some Saudi files run cards through the corporate bank’s merchant services, sometimes with a national switch. International processors may be added later if the licence allows.

    How we help

    We form the company, open the corporate account, and introduce the bank’s merchant team. The bank decides.

Provider lists are indicative. We confirm current availability during consultation. Official websites open in a new tab; Brikseka is not those companies, and we do not guarantee their approval.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Pakistan company apply for Stripe?

No. Stripe is not available as a merchant account for Pakistan-registered businesses. We brief Payoneer, local PKR processors, or a company in a Stripe merchant country — depending on the mandate.

Do you guarantee gateway approval?

No. We prepare a complete file and submit. Stripe, PayPal, Payoneer, and every regional acquirer decide on their own underwriting.

Why do you list so many regional processors?

Because the company country decides the gateway. A UAE company, a Turkish company, and a UK Ltd do not apply to the same processor. This page is the catalogue behind those country pages.
