Ziina · FinOps Profile

Ziina Finops

FinOps view of Ziina spend. Unlike metered infrastructure APIs, Ziina charges no fee for API calls themselves - cost is a per-transaction acquiring fee on collected payments (percentage + fixed AED, plus a surcharge on international cards / non-AED currencies), with 5% UAE VAT applied to the fee. Transfers between Ziina Business accounts are free. Spend therefore scales with payment volume and payment mix (domestic vs international, AED vs FX), not with request count.
