Ghanem said that the goal would be aided by the launch of the company’s local operation, adding that PayPal eyes to hire between 20,000 and 25,000 merchants in MENA.
Furthermore, the electronic payment network inked a deal with Aramex, the largest courier company in the region, in order to facilitate overseas transactions for Middle East customers using Aramex’s Shop & Ship service.
