Network International Enables Tap to Pay on iPhone for UAE Merchants

Network International, a prominent provider of digital commerce solutions in the Middle East and Africa, has introduced Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology. This innovation enables UAE-based merchants to accept in-person contactless payments directly through their iPhones, offering a seamless and secure payment experience.

How It Works for Merchants

The Tap to Pay feature is integrated into Network's N-Genius One iOS app, allowing merchants to accept various forms of contactless payments. This includes payments made via contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. The best part is that merchants can do this using just their iPhones, eliminating the need for any additional hardware.

Secure Payment Process

With Tap to Pay on iPhone, the transaction process is simple. At checkout, merchants prompt their customers to bring their contactless payment method close to the merchant’s iPhone. The payment is then securely processed using NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. This ensures that both customer and business data remain private and secure, as Apple does not store any card information or transaction details on either the device or its servers.

Benefits of N-Genius One App Integration

Through the power of Apple’s contactless payment technology, Network’s N-Genius One app enhances the checkout experience for merchants. The app allows businesses to provide a smooth, efficient, and secure payment process for their customers, which can increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Jamal Al Nassai, Group Managing Director for Merchant Services at Network International, MENA, said: “At Network, we’re continuously finding innovative ways to simplify payment acceptance for businesses. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, we're giving UAE merchants a simple and cost-effective payment solution that works just with their iPhone and Network’s N-Genius One app. Merchants can start accepting payments securely, delivering a seamless experience to their customers.”

Getting Started with Tap to Pay on iPhone

Both new and existing Network merchants interested in utilizing Tap to Pay on iPhone can easily sign up for the service. To start accepting contactless payments, they simply need an iPhone XS or later, with the latest version of iOS, and the N-Genius One app installed.
