Montran, a financial infrastructure and payment solutions provider, has opened its new Middle East and North Africa regional office, in Dubai.
The firm’s United Arab Emirates office will serve as Montran’s regional hub for infrastructure projects and client partnerships across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the broader MENA region.
The new office will support central banks, financial institutions, and market infrastructures with Montran’s full suite of solutions — including instant payments systems, real-time gross settlement, post-trade platform, and virtual account management.
With teams already engaged in regional projects across the GCC, North Africa, and Levant, the Dubai office will enable faster deployment, local expertise, and closer collaboration with partners and regulators.
The firm says the new office builds on Montran’s footprint across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and aligns with the company’s distributed operating model and client-centric approach.
Alexander Esca, CEO at Montran, remarks: “Opening our MENA office in Dubai represents more than geographic growth — it reflects our purpose to unify the world financially. We have built trusted partnerships with financial institutions across the region for decades.
“With a dedicated local presence, we are enhancing our ability to support clients’ digital transformation initiatives and deliver infrastructure for inclusive, real-time economies.”
Matt Walsh, general manager, Montran MENA, adds: “The Middle East is entering a new phase of financial modernisation.
“From instant payments to capital markets modernisation, our Dubai hub will be instrumental in helping institutions transition to the next generation of interoperable, secure, and efficient financial systems.”
