DCCI, Mastercard to spur use of digital payments

Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry has expanded its partnership with Mastercard to leverage Mastercard’s data and intelligence services to drive economic growth in the Emirate.

The strategic partnership aims to spur the use of digital payments, enable Dubai’s shift towards a digital economy and further support small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the market. Mastercard will offer its data-driven analytics technology to provide insights into the rapidly evolving spending patterns of consumers, including measuring the use of online channels. A selection of these insights will be showcased during a series of workshops hosted by the Chamber.

Hamad Buamim, President and CEO of Dubai Chamber of Commerce & Industry said, “We are delighted to work with Mastercard to support our decision-making when it comes to boosting commerce and trade in the UAE. A key pillar of our new 2022–2024 strategy is growing Dubai’s digital economy and improving the business environment. By utilising Mastercard’s global-best technologies, we will ensure these goals are achieved through deliberate and precise insights that ultimately serves to benefit the government, businesses, and residents.”
