areeba

Areeba is a payment services provider headquartered in Beirut, Lebanon, offering merchant acquiring, card issuing and processing, and e-commerce payment gateway services. It serves banks, fintechs, governments and merchants, with reported operations extending across the Levant, North Africa and the Gulf, including Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar and Egypt. Its product set includes point-of-sale (POS) and soft-POS terminals, QR-code and unattended payment acceptance, pay-by-link, recurring billing, and support for major card networks including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, plus contactless wallet payments such as Google Pay. Areeba traces its origins to the payment cards and electronic services division of Bank Audi, which was acquired by M1 Group; areeba now operates as part of M1 Financial Technologies. It is registered with Banque du Liban (the central bank of Lebanon) as Financial Institution No. 17. Areeba's own website blocks automated crawling, so the details here rely on secondary sources and should be verified directly with the company where precision matters.
