Shukria, the digital payments brand powered by Dubai-based Mercury Payments Services LLC, has partnered with Mastercard to introduce a new commercial card for UAE merchants. Designed to simplify corporate transactions and streamline cash flow, the card provides global acceptance through Mastercard’s network. It offers businesses a secure and flexible way to manage supplier and vendor payments, procurement and inventory costs, travel and entertainment expenses, and day-to-day operational spending.
Historically known for robust payment acceptance tools like POS terminals, SoftPOS, and payment gateways, Shukria is expanding its ecosystem to help both established corporate enterprises and growing SMEs manage their own outgoings. This launch reflects a broader trend among UAE businesses increasingly adopting digital financial solutions for greater visibility and control over their finances.
Ravi Sehgal, Chief Business Officer at Mercury, highlighted that the collaboration is a natural extension of Shukria’s vision to make financial solutions more relevant for businesses of all sizes, ultimately strengthening the financial ecosystem for merchants. Echoing this sentiment, Gina Petersen-Skyrme, Country Manager for the UAE and Oman at Mastercard, emphasized that the card empowers companies to reach their full potential by simplifying expense management and enhancing compliance and visibility.
Complementing Shukria’s existing business-in-a-box solutions – which include loyalty services, business financing, and multi-format checkouts – the new commercial card positions the brand as a comprehensive, end-to-end financial partner for UAE merchants aiming to scale securely in a digital-first economy.
