Why do Saudi universities prefer Amazon Payment Services over international gateways?
Amazon Payment Services (formerly Payfort) is built specifically for the MENA market and meets Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) compliance requirements. It supports Mada — the Saudi national debit card scheme with 22M+ cardholders — which many international gateways don't accept. Its local data centers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia provide low latency and meet data residency requirements for Saudi public universities. The Amazon brand also provides institutional credibility that matters in procurement decisions.
