As digital payment demand soars across the Middle East and North Africa, Mastercard has partnered with Octet Türkiye to enhance financial flexibility for businesses. The collaboration introduces a card-based solution for enterprise payments and collections—designed to replace traditional cash flows with smarter, installment-friendly options.
By combining Octet Türkiye’s expertise in corporate card infrastructure with Mastercard’s network, the solution enables businesses to make deferred payments while allowing sellers to receive funds instantly.
B2B Digital Payments on the Rise
According to Statista, the volume of B2B digital payments in the Middle East and Africa is set to nearly double by 2028. This upward trend underscores the need for secure, efficient alternatives to conventional payment methods.
Mastercard stated the goal of the partnership is to accelerate digital transaction adoption by offering tools that boost liquidity while reducing administrative friction—empowering companies to leverage their existing corporate cards in a fully digital workflow.
Octet Türkiye also noted that installment payments using cards are already common in consumer markets, and are now gaining traction in B2B transactions amid a global push for cashless business operations.
Virtual Cards for Long-Tail B2B Use Cases
While Mastercard and Octet target larger corporate flows, many small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) face unique challenges: frequent, low-value payments for SaaS, marketing, procurement, and partner payouts.
