Additionally, we use 256kb SSL encryption which transforms sensitive data into code to prevent unauthorized entry. Two-factor authentication requires users to provide a security token to access their accounts, and is also among the suite of security technologies we have adopted to safeguard client information. We have also installed intrusion detection and prevention systems for any signs and indications of malicious activities or unauthorized access and conducted regular security assessments to determine and rectify any potential weaknesses in our processes or systems.

Can you tell us about the current trading trends and how most clients address the risk factor of trading?

The financial markets are ever-evolving, with several factors shaping the trends, including economic data, political events, and company earnings reports. The market conditions can cause some asset groups or sectors to perform well than the other asset category. For instance, stocks and other assets may be favoured over more volatile ones during steady or continued growth. Clients can address risk factors associated with trading in several ways. Diversifying investments across various asset classes and sectors is a practical approach that can lower risks. Thus, your capital amount is preserved by distributing your portfolio across several investments. Clients can also place stop-loss orders to reduce potential losses if an investment goes against their expectations. Clients can seek guidance from our trained market experts to assess the risks involved with various investments and help them determine trading strategies. It is crucial to remember that trading is always associated with many risks, and clients should be prepared to accept and manage these risks appropriately.

Is cryptocurrency trading the trading industry’s future?

Trading in cryptocurrencies has risen significantly in recent years, with more and more investors participating. As a result of the volatility and swift price fluctuations in the market, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum present numerous opportunities for traders to make quick money. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is witnessing an upward trend in crypto trading, with the digital asset market thriving. This year is touted to be crucial for cryptocurrency in the region since a more significant movement is expected to happen. The blockchains that power cryptocurrency is developing into a robust, decentralized alternative to the financial and monetary systems, and it is a significant advancement in the financial sector. They possess the potential to transform how we store and transfer data as well as create new possibilities for traders and investors. A significant reason behind this is that unlike conventional trading markets, where participation requires a significant capital amount, cryptocurrency trading can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection. This accessibility might promote fair trading and investment possibilities. Trading in cryptocurrencies could increase the efficiency of financial markets by reducing transaction costs and boosting liquidity, which is why numerous traders turn to this technique. The advancement of technology may spur further innovation in trading and investing.

Edenred, a leading digital platform for services and specific purpose payments and the undisputed market leader in salary processing and financial inclusion for the underbanked in the UAE, continues to reinforce its leading position in payroll card solutions, value-added financial services, and compliance-first innovation under the leadership of newly appointed Managing Director Claudio Di Zanni.

As the first company authorised by the Central Bank of the UAE to process WPS salaries, Edenred UAE has long positioned financial inclusion as the foundation of its offer in UAE — ensuring that access to financial services isn’t an added benefit, but a guaranteed outcome of getting paid. 

Trusted by both large enterprises and a growing base of SMEs, the backbone of the UAE economy, Edenred UAE now serves more than 15,000 corporate clients, 2.5 million cardholders, and partners with over 10 banks and 20 financial institutions. Demand has been strong in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, and facility management—where reliability and seamless execution are critical.

Edenred UAE salary cards, C3Pay, powered by RAKBANK and part of the Mastercard network, can be used globally. A key driver of Edenred’s adoption success is its unmatched expertise in on-site training at worker accommodations, which helps large enterprises efficiently onboard thousands of employees. This ensures that workers understand how to activate their cards, utilise app features, and engage with key financial tools.

Claudio Di Zanni, Managing Director, Edenred Middle East, said: “Edenred UAE has set the benchmark for payroll and financial access in the region with digital innovative solutions, great ambitions and internationally committed teams. Our ambition now is to extend that lead by deepening trust with our clients, scaling services that matter to end users, and ensuring full compliance in a fast-evolving regulatory landscape. With unmatched reach, an expanding client base, and a proven model for financial inclusion, we are ready to shape the next phase of the region’s salary card ecosystem — developing its full potential and contributing to giving workers who were previously excluded from the financial system a secure, transparent, and dignified way to manage their money.

Edenred UAE remains the reference in payroll solutions, as it continues to scale high-impact services, deepen banking partnerships, and reinforce its role as the benchmark for secure, compliant, and ethical financial access in the UAE and beyond. With a sharpened focus on innovation and strengthened leadership, it is entering a new chapter of platform excellence as the backbone of financial access for the UAE’s workforce.

Dhruva urges UAE firms to focus on data sovereignty in e-Invoicing transition

Published

on

The 2026 mandate is an opportunity for businesses to align compliance with stronger data governance standards

With the UAE’s mandatory eInvoicing framework set to launch in 2026, Dhruva urges taxpayers to move beyond data residency considerations and focus on the critical issue of data sovereignty when selecting accredited service providers (ASPs). When adopting any cloud solution, it’s crucial to take the UAE National Cloud Security Policy into consideration, which provides a comprehensive checklist for cloud customers. This policy details necessary arrangements with cloud service providers, outlines contract requirements and sets cloud security requirements and enforcement measures.Dhruva is a leading tax advisory firm specializing in VAT, corporate tax, transfer pricing, and international taxation in the Middle East.

The eInvoicing rollout, based on the OpenPeppol five-corner model, will route all business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) invoices through ASPs that validate, exchange, and report tax-relevant data directly to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). This shift makes the question of where data lives and who ultimately controls it – a matter of legal, operational, and financial consequence.

Commenting on the development, Nimish Goel, Partner and Head of GCC, Dhruva Consultants, said: “Businesses cannot afford to mix data residency with sovereignty. Hosting tax data within UAE data centres is necessary, but it does not, by itself, guarantee compliance or protection. True sovereignty means that encryption keys, administrative controls, and audit logs remain fully under UAE jurisdiction and cannot be accessed by foreign authorities. For taxpayers, this distinction is not technical—it is a fundamental risk-management decision.”

Dhruva highlights that this distinction is becoming urgent for three reasons. First, the UAE has enacted a robust Federal Data Protection Law (PDPL) and sector-specific rules that demand explicit safeguards on cross-border data flows. Second, with eInvoicing deadlines approaching, taxpayers must evaluate how each provider’s hosting model aligns with UAE data hosting requirements, sovereignty and National Cloud Security Policy laws. Finally, the operational reality is that migrating data and applications between clouds is not seamless. Factors such as data gravity, proprietary platforms, and audit trail integrity make switching providers slow, risky, and expensive.

“E-invoicing will not only redefine how businesses transact with government authorities, but also how they safeguard their most sensitive tax and financial records,” Goel added. “Companies need to recognise that the choice of ASP is a long-term strategic decision. The location of the cloud operator, the jurisdiction under which they fall, and the location of their control plane and encryption keys all impact compliance and data security far more than the physical location of the server rack.”

Dhruva advises taxpayers to approach ASP selection with a structured due-diligence process aligned with the policy for cloud customers in the UAE. This policy covers key domains such as governance, data location and sovereignty, interoperability, security incident and access management, data confidentiality, architecture and infrastructure companies should ensure that all storage, backups, and logs are held within UAE borders, that operational control and key management remain in UAE jurisdiction, and that providers comply with the UAE’s Peppol interoperability standard. Audit logs should be immutable, recovery sites must be located in the country, and exit strategies need to be documented and tested, with transparency on egress costs.

“Taxpayers cannot treat this as a simple IT procurement,” Goel emphasized. “It is a compliance and sovereignty choice that will determine their risk exposure for years to come. The time to ask these questions is now—before companies find themselves locked into providers that may not meet their future regulatory and operational needs.”
