“We’re thrilled to partner with Kema to deliver robust local and international payment options with top-tier security at competitive rates. By combining our payment expertise with Kema’s intelligent finance tools, we’re empowering merchants to scale their digital commerce seamlessly and securely while streamlining cash flow.”

Michael Ghandour, Founder and CEO of Kema, said that, “The Kema x Telr partnership shatters the myth that card payments are only for consumers. Through Telr, Kema has already facilitated over $2.5 million in B2B card payments and is on track to double this within the next 12 months. By turning every static invoice into a consumer-grade checkout, Kema offers secure payment links and a dedicated B2B invoice flow pre-built with Telr.”

“The result: 60 percent improvement in on-time payments while saving 100s of hours for finance teams. With the widest range of plug-ins to leading accounting platforms, Wafeq, QuickBooks, Xero, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Workday, and more. Kema enables businesses to get set up in minutes and access a complete receivables platform: automation, reminders, payments, invoice financing, and beyond,” Ghandour added.

According to the statement, this partnership sets a new benchmark for digital payments in the region, blending innovation and regulatory compliance to drive growth. Together, Telr and Kema are shaping the future of seamless and secure digital commerce.
