We are constantly looking for undiscovered payment processors to add to our digital map in this area. We have a particular focus on the high-risk payment segment, which plays a pivotal role for high-risk and dark-side business models. In Cyprus, besides BridgerPay, Praxis Cashier, and various white-label solutions, Papel (CY) Marketing Services Ltd d/b/a Papel (www.papel.com) is offering its payment services. This one has not come to our attention until today. Therefore, we would like to know more.

Ferit Samuray (LinkedIn), who is also active in several other companies, is the company’s sole director.
