Amitad, a global Performance Marketing platform and IT solutions provider, is morphing into “Mitgo”, which will become the new parent holding company for the wider Admitad group.

The move aims to simplify the current corporate structure, allowing the separate entities within the group to develop more freely, alongside plans to launch a startup incubator and entrepreneur network.

Over the past five years, Admitad has seen strong growth in the MENA region, having spent over $30 million in acquisitions and various new project launches. In 2022, the provider’s solutions generated in excess of 130 million orders for 35,000 online merchants and monetized the audiences of 100,000 publishers.

To coincide with the group’s restructuring, founder Alexander Bachmann will step in as CEO of the newly-formed Mitgo.

“The worldwide economy is changing rapidly. By developing its products and investing in promising new projects, Mitgo will make a major contribution to the development of industries such as eCommerce, AdTech, and MarTech. An innovation-focused approach is the very backbone of Mitgo’s business operation. This new company structure will allow us even more freedom to launch ventures, acquire, invest – and attract investment,” says Alexander Bachmann, Mitgo CEO.

As well as offices in 10+ countries and a team of over 700 professionals, Mitgo boasts an extensive family of companies under its umbrella. From coupon and voucher advertising solutions such as FairSavings to influencer marketing from ConvertSocial, the group continues to grow from strength to strength, with further investments of $75-$100 million planned before 2025.

Stake, a leading digital real estate investment platform, has unveiled Pay to Card, a next-generation withdrawal feature built on Checkout.com’s global payment infrastructure. The integration enables investors to have dividends and returns credited directly to their bank cards — often within minutes — dramatically reducing the traditional multi-day payout process.

After a successful pilot in May involving over 200 users, some investors reported receiving their funds in under 10 minutes. Ricardo Brizido, CPTO and Co-Founder of Stake, emphasized the importance of speed and reliability: “With Pay to Card, we’re eliminating unnecessary delays and putting returns in our investors’ hands almost instantly. This feature was built to directly solve one of the most common pain points in real estate investing, and it’s already driving strong results”.

The feature launch coincides with rapid growth in real-time finance across the Middle East. Checkout.com’s “State of Digital Commerce in MENA 2025” report highlights a 388% year-on-year surge in Account Funding Transactions (AFTs) in the UAE, reflecting strong demand for immediate payout solutions. The same study recorded a 176% increase in total processing volume from 2023 to 2024 and noted that daily online transactions have jumped 320% since 2020.

Since its 2021 debut, Stake has facilitated over AED 1 billion in property transactions, advancing its mission to democratize real estate investment in high-growth markets. By integrating Pay to Card, Stake reinforces its commitment to customer-centric innovation and operational transparency.

Remo Giovanni Abbondandolo, General Manager for MENA at Checkout.com, praised the collaboration: “Stake has always led with customer-first financial experiences. Together, we’re meeting the expectations of a region that is no longer just digital-first, but real-time-first. Pay to Card exemplifies how modern payment infrastructure can directly solve investor pain points”.

Pay to Card is now available to all Stake users in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom. By slashing withdrawal times from days to minutes, Stake and Checkout.com are setting a new standard for seamless, on-demand real estate investing.
