du Pay teams up with Checkout.com to power smarter wallet top-ups

Dubai: In a move expected to accelerate the UAE’s digital payments shift, fast-growing fintech platform du Pay has partnered with global payments provider Checkout.com to streamline how users top up and use their digital wallets.

The collaboration will see du Pay integrate Checkout.com’s robust payment infrastructure, allowing for faster, safer, and more scalable transactions—particularly in wallet top-ups and everyday financial services.

For everyday users, the impact is clear: topping up a du Pay wallet will now be quicker, more reliable, and more secure. That’s a major plus for underbanked residents and gig workers who rely on mobile wallets for daily transactions, money transfers, and bill payments.

Businesses, especially digital-first startups or service providers, also stand to benefit. The partnership brings them a more stable and scalable payment processing backbone—crucial when managing high transaction volumes or integrating fintech features like wallet top-ups into their apps or websites.

And since Checkout.com provides a unified API, backend complexity is kept to a minimum—making it easier for merchants to get started without heavy tech lift.

Nicolas Levi, CEO of du Pay, said the partnership reflects du Pay’s mission to make financial access seamless and immediate:

“As we scale our services to meet growing demand, we need a payment partner with speed and reliability to support our vision. Checkout.com offers both, helping us build a more inclusive financial system for everyone.”

Guillaume Pousaz, Founder and CEO of Checkout.com, added: “We’re proud to support du Pay’s mission. Their focus on making financial services intuitive and accessible aligns closely with our own goals.”

Together, the companies say they aim to remove friction from digital payments in the UAE—particularly for underserved communities and small businesses. The move aligns with the broader push toward financial inclusion and user-first fintech experiences across the region.
