The UAE's cross-border payments landscape remains largely underserved despite massive annual volumes. Businesses frequently face opaque fees, hidden foreign exchange markups, slow processing, and manual reconciliation. SuperPay™ tackles these pain points head-on by delivering a modern, predictable alternative that combines automation with cost-effective global transfers.
The product operates through two integrated experiences:
This end-to-end workflow eliminates inefficiencies, reduces hidden costs, and provides full visibility—enabling finance teams to focus on strategy rather than manual tasks.
Parthi Duraisamy, Co-founder and CEO of Alaan, said: “We’ve seen firsthand how much friction finance teams deal with when paying suppliers abroad. With SuperPay™ we aim to bring a more modern and predictable experience to international payments.”
Since its 2022 launch, Alaan has become one of the region’s most trusted spend management platforms, serving over 3,000 finance teams across startups, mid-market, and enterprises. The company recently closed a record-breaking $48M Series A round led by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia India) and backed by Y Combinator. Alaan is recognized as the No.1 expense management platform by G2 across the Middle East and Africa and holds UAE Future 100 status.
SuperPay™ is currently available to a limited early-access cohort of UAE businesses, offering zero transfer fees and preferential pricing during the beta phase. Interested companies can join the waitlist to gain priority access.
