Arab African International Bank supports Egypt’s drive towards cashless economy
In support of the Central Bank of Egypt’s accelerated drive towards a cashless economy, the Arab African International Bank (AAIB), Egypt’s financial institution and merchant acquirer announced it will offer Egyptian merchants, the state-of-the-art N-Genius™ acceptance platform to support their payment needs.
The announcement follows AAIB’s agreement with Network International, the enabler of digital commerce in the Middle East and Africa and developer of the Android-based N-Genius™ payment platform. Through N-Genius™, AAIB’s merchant clients in Egypt will be able to accept payments via all major credit cards including ‘Meeza,’ Egypt’s national debit card, and contactless mobile wallets such as Apple Pay or Samsung Pay. AAIB’s initiative responds to a growing shift in consumer purchasing behavior to contactless transactions and online purchases, as governments worldwide have been encouraging safety precautions and social distancing measures.

The platform has been designed to keep pace with the fast-changing payments landscape, offering merchants fast access to the latest capabilities with minimum intervention, and is equipped to handle new payment solutions in the future.
