Torus continues to expand its international footprint with a strategic focus on the MENA region. As part of this expansion, the company has welcomed Kamal Kant to its Advisory Board, further strengthening its regional expertise and market presence.
The move comes at a time when the MENA payments market is undergoing rapid transformation. Digital payments adoption continues to accelerate across the region, driven by regulatory initiatives, growing e-commerce penetration, and a shift toward cashless economies. At the same time, the increasing complexity of card scheme fees and pricing models is creating new challenges for banks, acquirers, and fintech players.
Kamal brings a unique combination of global and regional experience in payments. He previously founded one of the world’s largest Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) businesses, held senior leadership roles at Citi, and contributed to the growth of Network International. His background spans both established financial institutions and high-growth payment companies.
With this appointment, Torus strengthens its ability to support partners in the region — helping financial institutions better understand transaction economics, manage scheme fees, and improve profitability through data-driven insights.
The expansion into MENA builds on Torus’ broader growth strategy — combining global product capabilities with strong local expertise in key markets, and enabling clients to move from fragmented data to precise profitability control.
