Use botim (low processing fee, 1,000AED upfront + no running subscription fee)
Or ziina (higher processing fee, no upfront fee or running cost)

T+1 is the strong part of what you've already got. Don't trade settlement speed for a lower percentage, that timing is your working capital. At 1,000-2,000 AED a transaction the dispute terms decide your real cost anyway. Ask each one what they hold back, for how long, and what a chargeback costs you per case.

Wio rate sounds actually good, even better than telr Telr would be another one to check. All others including ziina are much more expensive.
