Pemra, Syria's national electronic payment infrastructure, announced its connection to the global Visa network. This marks a step forward in modernizing the payment system and integrating the Syrian financial sector with international networks. The move comes after the Central Bank of Syria permitted banks and electronic payment companies to work with global entities like Visa and Mastercard, and following the launch of Syria’s first electronic payment transaction via Visa and Mastercard in May 2026. The goal is to develop a modern and efficient payment system in Syria, with a plan to reach 50,000 point-of-sale devices by the end of 2026, and to integrate with regional and international financial systems once technical and regulatory arrangements are completed.
