American Express Middle East has announced its latest merchant agreement with Skiply, the leading educational mobile payment app in UAE powered by RAKBANK, to provide American Express Card Members with a seamless and secure solution for managing school-related payments in over 400 educational merchants including schools in the United Arab Emirates.
Skiply's platform consolidates payment options for a wide network of schools, eliminating the need for Card Members to navigate individual school payment portals. Skiply also enables users to purchase uniforms and books and provides users access to prior transaction history. This streamlined approach simplifies payments and offers a smoother and faster journey for users.
This agreement is part of American Express Middle East's ongoing commitment to growing the number of places that accept American Express, enabling customers to use their Cards more frequently for everyday expenses. Globally, American Express has approximately 146 million Cards in force and is accepted at more than 108 million merchant locations. Since 2017, the company has more than quadrupled the number of merchant locations that accept American Express worldwide, reflecting its dedication to expanding its global footprint in the places where Card Members live, work, and travel.
