“The Payfort team understands that this is a critical time for many start-ups and small and medium businesses … we aim to help as many businesses as we can to accept payments online quickly and improve the cash flow.”
The new drive strives to support companies by boosting traffic on their websites, driving more sales. The Dubai-based financial technology firm said that the campaign will be started in the UAE before being extended to Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
