HyperPay has earned National Payment Gateway certification from the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), becoming one of the first payment providers to gain full integration rights with the Kingdom’s national payment infrastructure.
What This Certification Unlocks
The NPG certification is the key to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly expanding digital economy. The framework is part of SAMA’s E-commerce Payments Interface and Vision 2030 initiatives, representing a major modernisation effort to standardise and secure online payments nationwide.
For HyperPay’s merchant partners, the approval guarantees compliance with national regulations and seamless integration across Saudi Arabia’s financial ecosystem. The certification validates HyperPay’s full compliance with national payment regulations and technical standards, positioning the company as a trusted infrastructure partner for merchants, financial institutions, and enterprises.
Perfect Market Timing
Saudi Arabia’s digital payments market is projected to reach $49 billion in transaction value, growing at over 15% annually through 2027. Electronic payments already account for 70% of individual retail transactions, up from 62% the previous year.
“This certification represents a pivotal moment for HyperPay and reflects our unwavering commitment to operating at the highest standards of compliance and trust,” said Muhannad Ebwini, founder and CEO. “It strengthens our ability to serve as a reliable partner to merchants and financial institutions across Saudi Arabia”.
Beyond Basic Processing
HyperPay’s platform offers online payment processing, point-of-sale solutions, card issuing, payout services, and value-added financial tools. With over 2,000 merchants already on the platform and existing PCI-DSS compliance and ISO certifications, the NPG approval positions HyperPay to capture larger enterprises requiring guaranteed regulatory alignment.
The certification signals that Saudi Arabia’s payment infrastructure is maturing from fragmented services into a coherent, regulated system designed to support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 economic ambitions. For businesses entering the Saudi market, NPG-certified providers like HyperPay eliminate the complexity of navigating uncertain regulatory landscapes while ensuring security and interoperability across the national financial system.
