Neema announces an expansion of its collaboration with Mastercard to enable cross-border payments into Israel

July 9, 2026 – Tel Aviv, Israel – Neema, a leading global cross-border payments platform catering to banks and financial institutions, announced today an expanded collaboration with Mastercard Move, Mastercard’s portfolio of money movement capabilities, to facilitate real-time cross-border payments into Israel for consumers and businesses.

This builds on an existing collaboration through which Neema leverages the Mastercard Move network to enable fast, secure payment transfers from Israeli businesses and consumers to several markets worldwide.

Moving money across borders efficiently remains a priority for banks and payment providers, particularly as expectations for speed, transparency, and convenience continue to evolve. In Israel's well-established and highly regulated financial environment, Neema as a fintech company offers modern and advanced solutions that complement existing financial infrastructure and help streamline the flow of money in and out of the country. This is especially impactful for non-Israeli companies looking to operate more efficiently and seamlessly in the Israeli market.

With direct connectivity to MASAV, Israel’s central electronic clearing and payment infrastructure, Neema provides strong local infrastructure that supports real-time payouts in Israel.

Moshe Kimhi quotation "Collaborating with a global leader like Mastercard is a powerful validation of Neema’s technology and our deep-rooted infrastructure within the Israeli financial ecosystem," said Moshe Kimhi, CEO of Neema. "Navigating Israel’s highly regulated, traditional banking landscape has historically been a challenge for international businesses. By integrating our direct MASAV-connected platform with Mastercard Move™, we are breaking down these traditional barriers. Together, we are enabling seamless, real-time, and cost-effective payouts that will fundamentally transform how global businesses and consumers move money into Israel."
