BPC,
a global leader in payment solutions, has launched the BPC Trusted Partner
Program, an initiative designed to accelerate regional growth, foster
innovation, and strengthen ecosystem collaboration across the Middle East and
Africa (MEA).
The
program aims to help BPC partners leverage the company’s advanced technologies
to expand into new industries and markets, deliver innovative solutions to
clients, and enhance profitability through joint commercial efforts. It targets
a diverse range of partners, including ATM and POS hardware vendors, card and
biometric solution providers, core banking and financial inclusion software
partners, and service providers involved in implementation, integration, and
localization.
The
program was officially unveiled at the Shangri-La Hotel in Dubai, where BPC’s
Partners and Alliances Director for MEA, Yiannos Papadopoulos, presented the
structure and benefits of the initiative to over 30 executives from 25
technology and consulting firms representing countries such as the UAE, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore, Ethiopia, Turkey, Iraq, and Kuwait.
Key
BPC executives, including Imran Vilcassim, Global Chief Commercial Officer for
Digital Banking, Tokhir Abdukadyrov, SVP and Head of Digital Social &
Infrastructure Solutions, Dulanjana Kumaratunge, Presales Consultant, and
Georgi Robev, Business Development Manager, shared insights into BPC’s value
propositions. These covered digital platform innovations, payment ecosystem
enablement, and the digitalization of Smart Cities and mobility sectors.
Partners
will have the opportunity to align their offerings with BPC’s SmartVista
platform, which spans issuing, acquiring, switching, real-time payments,
e-commerce, SoftPOS, AI-driven fraud management, and the O-CITY urban mobility
solution. The modular and scalable platform is designed to meet evolving
customer needs across the MEA region.
According
to Papadopoulos, the Trusted Partner Program is built on a collaborative model
that benefits both BPC and its partners. “At its core, this program is
designed to help both parties generate additional value and drive payments
innovation across new markets and segments,” he said. “We believe these
partnerships are true win-win collaborations that open doors to new
opportunities and accelerate market entry with speed and confidence.”
BPC
plans to roll out a series of enablement sessions, certifications, and regional
roadshows throughout 2026 to support partners in building stronger pipelines
and delivering secure, innovative digital payment solutions for banks,
fintechs, merchants, governments, and national infrastructures across the
region.
