Dubai: Network International LLC (Network), a leading enabler of digital commerce across the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, has announced that it has obtained a stored value facility (SVF) licence from the Central Bank of the UAE. This licence will enable Network to further support the UAE’s growing digital payment ecosystem.
As an SVF licensee, Network can better support FinTech and Financial Institutions and enable its partners and customers to support prepaid card issuing and wallet provisioning, among other things.
