Tencent Cloud provides a robust, compliant cloud foundation to support iyzico’s European growth and the launch of its first regional production platform
At Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026, Tencent Cloud, the cloud division of global technology company Tencent, announced a collaboration with iyzico, a leading Turkish fintech company, to support iyzico’s European expansion and the launch of its first cloud-based production platform in the region. Built on Tencent Cloud’s IaaS infrastructure, the deployment demonstrates Tencent Cloud’s growing role in supporting regulated financial institutions across Europe’s fintech ecosystem.
Founded in Türkiye, it delivers virtual, in-store, and supplier network payment solutions alongside AI-powered payment technologies for e-commerce, retail, and B2B businesses. Its secure and user-friendly platform simplifies complex payment processes, serving over 185,000 merchants including some of Türkiye’s and the world’s largest e-commerce players. By providing seamless payment experiences, iyzico has become a key payment infrastructure provider within Türkiye’s rapidly growing e-commerce ecosystem.
To enable its European growth, it required a secure, compliant cloud foundation capable of meeting strict financial regulations while supporting new operational capabilities. Tencent Cloud worked with iyzico to establish its first cloud-based production platform in Europe. Developed on a robust full-stack architecture spanning compute, networking, storage, and security services, the platform supports mission-critical payment workloads with high availability and resilience. Leveraging Tencent Cloud’s IaaS portfolio, engineered to meet stringent performance, security, and compliance standards, iyzico can launch and scale payment services efficiently across Europe.
The solution, deployed across Tencent Cloud’s Frankfurt availability zones, provides reliable, low-latency performance within Europe. Its dual availability zone design, combined with rapid database failover and elastic resource scaling, ensures uninterrupted transaction processing even during peak demand. Tencent Cloud’s local infrastructure presence also supports regulatory compliance while maintaining seamless payment experiences for European consumers.
The collaboration spanned architecture design, automated deployment, and operational handover, enabling a rapid production rollout and establishing a secure, scalable foundation for growth. Tencent Cloud’s 24-hour engineering support throughout proof of concept and migration ensured swift issue resolution and a smooth transition from testing to production, accelerating time to market while reducing operational complexity.
Fred Sun, General Manager of Europe, Tencent Cloud International, said: “Supporting iyzico’s expansion across Europe is a shared priority. We focus on delivering secure, compliant, and high-performance infrastructure that allows fintech innovators like iyzico to scale confidently and provide seamless payment experiences to millions of customers.
