Under this certification, HyperPay is committed to the highest standards of payment security, interoperability, and regulatory compliance, in addition to its ability to integrate seamlessly with the national payments infrastructure and deliver secure, efficient, and scalable payment solutions to its growing customer base.

The certification also supports the broader development of Saudi Arabia’s digital economy by enabling merchants and financial institutions to process financial transactions through an electronic gateway that meets strict national requirements.
