At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, Tencent Cloud announced a collaboration with Turkish fintech company iyzico to support its European expansion and launch its first cloud-based production platform in the region.
Tencent Cloud built the platform on its IaaS infrastructure to meet regulatory requirements for financial services.
Founded in Türkiye, iyzico provides virtual, in-store and supplier network payment solutions for e-commerce, retail and B2B businesses.
Its platform supports transactions for over 185,000 merchants, including major e-commerce players and SMEs, and aims to simplify payment processes while maintaining security and reliability.
To facilitate its European operations, iyzico required a secure and compliant cloud environment with end-to-end support, including infrastructure setup and code delivery via Terraform.
Tencent Cloud developed the platform across its Frankfurt availability zones, providing a dual zone architecture with rapid database failover and elastic resource scaling to ensure uninterrupted transaction processing.
Fred Sun, General Manager of Europe at Tencent Cloud International, said:
“We are focused on delivering secure, compliant and high-performance infrastructure that enables fintech innovators like iyzico to scale with confidence and provide seamless payment experiences to millions of customers.”
Şamil Nevruz, CTO of iyzico, added:
“The partnership has strengthened our ability to meet stringent regulatory requirements, scale efficiently and deliver reliable services to our merchants and customers. As we start to grow in Europe, this relationship also provides a platform for further innovation in digital payments.”
The collaboration covered architecture design, automated deployment and operational handover, enabling rapid rollout and establishing a foundation for growth while maintaining regulatory compliance.
