A Trusted Partnership in the Middle East and North Africa
Strategic4Investments, headquartered in Beirut, is a leading provider of payment technology solutions across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The company works across multiple sectors including gaming, transportation, banking and automated payment systems, delivering secure and reliable cash handling technologies to operators throughout the region.
For the past five years, Strategic4Investments has partnered closely with JCM Global, distributing and integrating JCM’s bill validation technologies into a variety of payment environments.
“Our relationship with JCM over the past five years has been a great business partnership. Their products, particularly bill validators and transportation solutions, have been extremely reliable for our customers,” says CEO Samer Raham.
One notable success for the partnership was a large-scale upgrade at Casino du Liban in Lebanon, where Strategic for Investments worked with JCM to modernise the venue’s bill validation systems.
The project involved replacing legacy UBA10 validators with the newer UBA Pro technology across approximately 200 machines on the gaming floor.
According to Raham, the results were immediate and impressive.
“Business in a casino environment is extremely critical, so there is no margin for error. JCM was the right partner for this upgrade.”
Since the installation, the system has performed consistently with no operational issues reported by the customer, reinforcing the reliability of the technology.
Reliability is particularly important in environments where counterfeit banknotes can occasionally appear.
Raham recalls a situation where a new counterfeit note was detected. JCM responded quickly with a firmware update to address the issue.
“When the counterfeit banknote appeared, JCM responded immediately. The team acted very quickly and provided a firmware upgrade that we could test and implement straight away.”
The rapid response meant the issue was resolved without disruption to the operator.
“The solution was delivered quickly and effectively, which strengthened our credibility with the customer and demonstrated the value of working with JCM,” he adds.
While gaming remains an important sector, Strategic4Investments is increasingly involved in projects across banking, transportation and automated payment systems.
JCM’s technology is well suited to these sectors due to its reliability and flexibility.
The company is currently working on several pipeline projects, including potential deployments with central banks for cash deposit systems, as well as transportation payment projects in Egypt and other emerging markets across the region.
Although many of these projects remain confidential, Raham expects them to play an important role in the company’s growth strategy.
As payment technology continues to evolve, Strategic4Investments sees its partnership with JCM as central to delivering reliable solutions for customers across the MENA region.
“JCM products are innovative, reliable and continuously improving. With new technologies constantly being developed, we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.”
With strong regional expertise and a growing pipeline of projects across multiple industries, Strategic4Investments and JCM Global are well positioned to support the next generation of payment infrastructure across the Middle East and North Africa.
