Network International (Network), a leading FinTech company across the Middle East and Africa, announced the renewal of its processing and back-office management agreement with Emirates NBD Group, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye (MENAT) region.

Under the renewed commercial arrangement, Network will continue to provide processing and back-office management services for Emirates NBD Group.The renewal reflects Emirates NBD Group’s continued confidence in Network’s proven processing capabilities and its ability to support large, multi-market banking groups with resilient and scalable payments infrastructure.

Network’s breadth of presence – operating across 56 markets in the MEA region, supporting more than 250 financial institutions with end-to-end payments processing – means that as banking groups such as Emirates NBD grow their geographic reach, Network has already laid out the infrastructure, regulatory familiarity and operational continuity to support them.

The relationship between the two organisations spans more than three decades, with Network originally founded in 1994 as a subsidiary of Emirates NBD. Over the years, this collaboration has evolved to support Emirates NBD Group’s expanding geographic footprint and growing payments needs.

Murat Cagri Suzer, Group Chief Executive Officer of Network International, said:
“Emirates NBD Group holds a special place in Network International’s history as one of our founding partners. This renewal reflects the hard work of our teams and our commitment to delivering secure, seamless payment solutions that our partners trust. We look forward to further supporting Emirates NBD with our innovation and agility – across payments acceptance and processing, value-added services and beyond – as they grow their banking presence across the region.”

Marwan Hadi, Group Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management at Emirates NBD, said:“At Emirates NBD, we value long-term partnerships that consistently deliver operational excellence and are pleased to renew our longstanding agreement with Network International. Our collaboration with Network reflects our continued confidence in their expertise and ability to support our processing and operational requirements, while enhancing efficiency, transparency and speed across our payments ecosystem.”

The renewed agreement reinforces Network International’s role as a trusted processing partner to leading banks in the region and its ongoing commitment to supporting the UAE and wider GCC banking sector with end-to-end payments capabilities.
