Network International is the leading digital payment solutions provider across the Middle East and Africa. Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Dubai, the company operates in over 50 countries and, following its merger with Magnati, stands as the largest fintech company in the region. Its business spans merchant acquiring, payment processing and a range of related fintech services for banks, merchants and financial institutions.
The company's product portfolio covers the full spectrum of payment acceptance. Merchant services deliver comprehensive acquiring and payment acceptance for businesses of every size, supported by point-of-sale terminal solutions for in-person transactions and e-commerce payment processing for digital commerce. Digital wallet products and mobile SDKs extend the platform to developers and merchants seeking payment integration in their own applications. The technical domains in play include payment processing, POS technology, digital wallets, mobile SDKs and merchant acquiring technology.
Network International's trajectory marks it as an enterprise of considerable scale and consequence. It listed on the London Stock Exchange in April 2019 at a valuation of £2.2 billion, and in September 2024 was acquired by a Brookfield Asset Management-led consortium for £2.2 billion, taking the company into private ownership. Its geographic footprint spans the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, South Africa and Egypt, alongside its wider presence across the Middle East and Africa.
