In addition to offering merchants and their customers the convenience of anytime, anywhere payments, the solution leverages Network’s trusted payment infrastructure and track record in creating safe and flexible payment solutions designed for local businesses.

“Following COVID-19 restrictions, we have seen a growing adoption of contactless payments globally and in the UAE. Our N-Genius™ app will support unserved and underserved small businesses in the UAE by enabling them to accept contactless payments and deliver a modern, seamless shopping experience to their consumers via smartphones,” said Ahmed Bin Tarraf, Regional President – UAE, Network International.
