Al Baraka Islamic Bank (AIB), a leading financial institution in Bahrain, has announced the successful implementation of its advanced fraud prevention and detection solution, SafeNet, in collaboration with Global Payment Services (GPS), a prominent provider of innovative payment solutions.
SafeNet, an AI-driven technology, is designed to secure electronic payment channels and non-payment activities.
