Network International Pursues Insights-Led Payments Platform
Network International, a UAE-headquartered payments processor operating across 56 markets, is shifting from traditional card processing to an insights-led fintech platform, CEO Murat Cagri Suzer said after taking the role in February last year. The company completed its merger with Magnati in October, is acquiring RAKBANK’s merchant acquiring arm (about 5,000 merchants), launched an SMB app, and enabled regulated stablecoin acceptance with MBank. The moves aim to improve authorisation rates, merchant liquidity, and regional scale.
