Network International, a leading enabler of digital commerce in the Middle East and Africa (MEA), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ant International, a global provider of digital payment and financial technology solutions. This partnership aims to explore the expansion of innovative digital payment solutions for businesses throughout the MEA region.
As part of this collaboration, Network International plans to leverage Alipay+ Wallet Tech solutions, including the development of e-wallet capabilities to better serve its customers across MEA.
Alipay+ Wallet Tech offers a comprehensive suite of e-wallet solutions, enabling customers to quickly build e-wallet applications or create super apps. The platform supports prominent e-wallets worldwide, empowering them to cater to millions of users.
The MoU also envisions extending this partnership to additional countries within the MEA in the near future. Furthermore, Network International aims to introduce Alipay+ payment solutions to the online platforms it supports in the region, allowing consumers to enjoy a seamless online and offline payment experience using QR codes, utilizing their preferred e-wallets or digital payment methods. Currently, Alipay+ connects over 30 digital payment methods globally.
Additionally, Network International intends to collaborate with Ant International’s payment and digitization services platform, Antom, to enhance card payment processing capabilities for international debit and credit cards issued in the UAE. This will enable global merchants to accept a wider range of local payment methods and foster better connections with local consumers.
