“The collaboration with Network International is in line with our commitment to promote the overall business environment in the UAE and support SMEs and startups as they are a vital contributor to the growth of the economy. It also illustrates our determination to provide our clients with best-in-class products and services that caters to their needs to help them expand and achieve their future growth plans. Since last year, there has been a huge increase in the number of contactless transactions and in merchants using POS machines, largely due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.”
