DB Investing said on Thursday that it has signed a service provider agreement with MBME Pay, enabling clients in the UAE to fund trading accounts through MBME Pay’s network of more than 4,000 cash kiosks across the country.
The deal adds an offline, cash-based deposit channel to DB Investing’s existing payment stack, which already includes Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Neteller, Skrill, bank transfers, and PayPal for new online deposits. DB Investing says it is the first regulated online broker in the region to integrate MBME Pay’s kiosk infrastructure.
The partnership is aimed at retail investors who prefer physical transactions over bank transfers, cards, or app-based wallets.
How the kiosk channel works
At the operational level, UAE-based clients can deposit cash at an MBME Pay kiosk and route funds into a DB Investing trading account without needing to complete a bank transfer or use an online payment method.
More deposit options can mean fewer drop-offs between account registration and first deposit, which is one of the biggest conversion hurdles in online trading. A visible funding method may help reduce that friction, especially for users who are less digitally embedded or who prefer cash for habit-based reasons.
Fees, settlement timing, daily deposit limits, and the technical workflow between kiosk cash collection and trading-account crediting were not disclosed in the announcement.
