Hi All We provide a web service mainly targeting migrant workers in Middle East countries such as UAE , Kuwait , Oman , Saudi Arabai etc. We found that most of these communities does not have a credit card and unable to make online payments. Is there any popular service in these countries where these users can make online payments , something like UKASH ?

Thanks Digizoom , this is much more than I expected here . You covered the whole middle east and you have a through knowledge about the area. I will try cashu . Thanks once again .
Alternative, incorporate a UK or other EU company and get some EU banking for it, once established, you can apply for a merchant account for credit card processing with any of the hundred providers in Europe.
Having a merchant account will not solve it , its a nature of this community that most of them dont have credit cards
Hi shanesmith, We are a global payment service provider and we can help you collect payments from Middle East with the local payment methods such as cashu, onecard which works better. Please let me know if you are interested.
Last time I dealt with a client from Abu Dhabi, I had him transfer the money via Western Union to me. I know it's not a great method, but it also exists.
Almost any high risk merchant processor should be able to find you an offshore solution that would be able to accommodate your processing needs. Look for high risk merchant processors in the middle east.
