With over 30 years of industry leadership, the company is committed to accelerating the digitalization of payments in Morocco, leveraging advanced technologies tailored to meet the needs of financial institutions and businesses in the Kingdom.
Nandan Mer, CEO of Network International, highlighted the significance of this move, stating, “Morocco represents a major strategic opportunity for us, not only because of its robust financial ecosystem but also due to its pivotal role as a gateway to Francophone Africa. We are confident that our expertise, combined with innovative technology, will play a crucial role in the country’s digital transformation. Our mission is to simplify commerce and make payments more accessible and inclusive for everyone.”
Adding to Mer’s statement, Reda Helal, Group Managing Director – Processing, Africa, and Co-Managing Director of Group Processing at Network International, said, “Casablanca now joins our hubs in Africa to support the digital payment transformation.
