MenaPay: Blockchain-based Payment Gateway Records 2x Transaction Speed Compared to Credit Cards

The most widely used current payment systems, Visa and MasterCard, can finalize transactions within 15 seconds in MENA region according to official statements. On the other hand, MenaPay completes the transaction in less than 1.7 seconds on MenaChain which is the permissioned blockchain developed by MenaPay team. Considering the whole payment experience of the end user, it takes less than 9 seconds from starting the application to completing the payment.

Commenting on these latest developments, MenaPay CTO Tuna Orbay notes, "It is hard to believe that people still rely on traditional payment giants even though they finalize transactions in 15 seconds and can not provide 100% secure payment experience! We achieved spectacular results with MenaChain in that sense and we are receiving great feedback regarding user experience from our community who joins us with initial tests.”

The MenaPay Team continues to work on the development of the platform with the objective of providing users with the most stable and secure payment experience yet available.
