As the first phase of this collaboration, Adyen’s unified payment platform has been implemented at Sixt UAE, part of the Gargash portfolio. The system delivers secure and seamless payment processing across online, in-store, and mobile channels, covering deposits, pre-authorisations, refunds, chargebacks, fines, and toll payments within a single centralised platform.
Since deployment, the solution has improved operational efficiency by reducing manual processes and enhancing reconciliation accuracy. The platform provides a 360-degree view of transactions, strengthening data integrity, audit controls, and transparency across the business.
Walid Hizaoui, group chief strategy officer at Gargash Group, said: “This partnership with Adyen reflects our broader digital transformation agenda, focused on driving operational efficiency through automation, stronger systems, and data integrity at scale. It is a deliberate step in advancing our AI and digital capabilities while reinforcing scalable, future-ready operations across the group.”
Daumantas Grigaravicius, head of Middle East at Adyen, added: “By unifying complex payment processes on a single platform, we’re helping reduce friction, improve control, and create a smoother experience for both customers and teams.”
With a strong focus on governance, sustainable partnerships, Emiratisation, digital enablement, and community engagement, Gargash Group continues to align its operations with the UAE’s broader sustainability and economic development goals. By embedding technology, efficiency, and social impact into its business strategy, Gargash Group is building a resilient, forward-looking enterprise designed to create lasting value for stakeholders and the wider community.
