Network International partners with FreedomPay

Network International has announced its partnership with next-gen fintech FreedomPay to support and transform the hospitality sector.

As FreedomPay’s preferred partner in the MEA region, Network will be able to provide its hospitality merchants in the UAE and the MEA with a fully integrated hospitality payments platform that covers all operations, including front desk reservation systems, F&B, theme parks, spas, and more. With its omni-channel features, the platform enables hotels and retail chains to recognise consumers based on their chosen means of payment, enabling smooth transactions across all of their sites.

With one unified platform, the partnership will also forge improved merchant-consumer ties across the MEA region, serving a wide range of market segments such as hotels, restaurants, and retail chains. While preserving global or regional corporate brand goals across all of their locations and assets, merchants may expect to achieve payment data security, coverage for upcoming payment technologies, operational efficiency, and growth of loyalty and value-added services.
