Telr is a Dubai-headquartered payment gateway and virtual POS provider that has operated since 2014 with a strong focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) market. It enables online payment acceptance in multiple currencies, including AED, offers robust integrations with regional banks, and is licensed and regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE. This makes it a core part of the local payment infrastructure for businesses selling e-commerce goods or services across the Gulf.
Telr brings features such as payment links, invoicing, Apple Pay acceptance, Buy Now Pay Later with Tabby, and branded payment pages together in a single dashboard. By supporting local and international cards as well as digital wallets, it aims to increase your business's conversion rate.
Telr requires a local trade license for virtual POS applications. For this reason, the process is noticeably faster and smoother for companies formed in Dubai. Both mainland and eligible free zone companies can open a Telr account.
A Dubai mainland company is advantageous for businesses selling directly to the local market with a physical store or service presence. Businesses focused on international e-commerce and digital services often build a more cost-effective structure with a Dubai free zone company. The right structure directly affects both your Telr approval process and your tax advantages.
For businesses focused on the regional market, Telr has a lower barrier to entry and stronger alignment with local banks compared to Stripe or PayPal. AED collection, compatibility with local card schemes, and regional support teams make Telr stand out for MENA-focused brands.
A Telr virtual POS application begins with correctly setting up your company structure and is completed when the account is activated. The process generally follows these steps:
Applications generally require a valid trade license, company formation documents (MOA), shareholder/passport details, corporate bank account information, and website/app details. Some sectors (finance, travel, healthcare, etc.) may require additional approvals or documents. World Company Setup manages the entire process on your behalf, from setting up the correct company structure to preparing documents and activating your Telr account.
Telr applies tiered pricing based on transaction volume. The table below summarizes Telr's officially published current plans and rates:
| Plan | Monthly Volume | Monthly Fee | Transaction Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry Plan | AED 0 – 20,000 | AED 349 | 0% + AED 0 |
| Small Plan | AED 20,001 – 50,000 | AED 149 | 2.69% + AED 1 |
| Medium Plan | AED 50,000 and above | AED 99 | 2.49% + AED 0.50 |
Note: The fees above are subject to 5% VAT, and a valid trade license is mandatory to apply. Telr offers custom (volume-based) pricing for businesses processing more than AED 500,000 per month. As rates may be updated by Telr, we recommend confirming the official figures before signing through our virtual POS consultancy services.
For businesses selling into the MENA region, Telr stands out for local currency collection, integration with regional banks, and a lower barrier to entry. While Stripe and PayPal are strong globally, some Gulf markets may face limitations in local card acceptance and AED collection. The right provider should be chosen based on your target market, average basket size, and monthly transaction volume.

Telr requires a valid UAE trade license to apply. Therefore, businesses wanting to open a Telr account must set up a company in Dubai (mainland or free zone). World Company Setup manages the entire process, from establishing the right company structure to Telr approval.
Telr applies tiered pricing: Entry Plan (AED 0–20,000) AED 349/month and 0% per transaction; Small Plan (AED 20,001–50,000) AED 149/month and 2.69% + AED 1; Medium Plan (AED 50,000+) AED 99/month and 2.49% + AED 0.50. All fees are subject to 5% VAT and may be updated by Telr.
You generally need a valid trade license, company formation documents (MOA), shareholder/passport details, corporate bank account information, and website/app details. Some sectors such as finance, travel, and healthcare may require additional approvals.
The timeline depends on the readiness of your company structure, the completeness of documents, and your sector's risk level. After company formation and bank account opening, the application is reviewed together with Telr's KYC process. A complete file speeds things up significantly.
For businesses selling into the MENA region with AED collection as a priority, Telr is often more advantageous thanks to strong local bank integration and a low barrier to entry. Stripe and PayPal may stand out for global-scale sales. The right choice depends on your target market and transaction volume.
