Payments are the lifeblood of your business. And in the world of payment processing, trust is paramount. It is crucial to partner with a payment processor or payment gateway that is both regulated by the country's financial regulator(s) and registered with schemes like Visa and Mastercard.

Mamo is a fully licensed financial entity and Payment Facilitator:

Mamo Limited is regulated and licensed by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), with a Providing Money Services license.

Our license authorizes us to do the following:

When it comes to payment processing, it's crucial to think long-term and secure stability for your business. The peace of mind that comes from knowing you are operating within the bounds of the law, protected from potential shutdowns or legal issues, is priceless.

Payment Facilitators are like middlemen between small businesses and companies like Visa and Mastercard. Think of them as helpful intermediaries that make it easier for businesses to accept payments.

Payment Facilitators make it convenient for businesses to accept payments and handle the complexities of dealing with financial institutions and payment firms, so businesses can focus on what they do best — sell!

Being a fully regulated and licensed firm means that Mamo has obtained the necessary legal and regulatory approvals required to offer its financial services to customers.

This involves meeting certain criteria and standards set forth by our financial regulator, which include having robust systems and controls, safeguarding client money, obtaining proper documentation, meeting capital requirements, and adhering to certain safety, security and operational procedures.

This license gives customers peace of mind, knowing that Mamo is trustworthy, legitimate, and operates under specific guidelines and regulations to protect the interests of its customers.

As a Mamo customer, it’s important to us that you fully understand how your money is protected in your Mamo account.

Our regulator, the DFSA, requires that a regulated financial entity partner with a local banking partner, regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE, for storing Client Money.

As a financial services provider regulated by the DFSA, Mamo ensures that your funds (aka Client Money) is always stored at local UAE banks in special purpose accounts called Client Money Accounts. These accounts must be and are completely segregated from Mamo's own operational funds and must never be used for any operational or lending purposes.
