Mobily, a leading telecom operator in Saudi Arabia, has launched a first-of-its-kind service that enables business customers to connect to Sadad’s payment services through the virtual Mobily network IP VPN.

“Sadad Access Service” is a value addition for business customers who are looking for innovative ways of payment for their products and services provided to their end-customers, said the company in a statement.
