Network International, the leading enabler of digital commerce across the Middle East and Africa, has introduced its N-Genius™ app as part of its continued commitment to support digital payment acceptance among UAE small businesses.

The N-Genius™ app uses NFC (Near-Field Communication) technology to convert an eligible Android smartphone into a mobile contactless payment device, without the need for additional hardware. The portable solution will offer small business owners the ability to accept contactless payments from a wide variety of contactless payment methods, including cards and mobile wallets on smartphones and wearables, thus delivering seamless payment experiences to consumers.

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.
