NI history
The company was established in 1994 as a fully owned subsidiary in the UAE. Actually, it was the formation or a division of Emirates Bank International that is now known as Emirates NBD. Initially, the facility was a simple merchant acquirer and processor. In 2003, the company launched the service of third party processing for financial institutions. A year later, it started operations in Oman, Egypt, Lebanon, Kuwait, and African countries. In 2006, the platform became a pioneer that introduced real-time acceptance features for the merchants of the Arab Emirates, serving them through POS terminals on the basis of GPRS technology. In 2013, it became the first in UAE that launched mPOS devices, and, in 2014, a dedicated e-commerce solution was offered to customers that became the first in the region. Since the company purchased Emerging Markets Payments in 2016, it expanded its presence to 50 countries. After the introduction of innovative NGenius payment platform for local companies in 2018, it decided to run for IPO at London Stock Exchange, where it sold 40% of its shares in 2019.
In 2019, the platform launched a self-serving portal. During the COVID-19 period, when online debit card spending at supermarkets increased 36%, and credit card spending also grew 20%, the spend growth rate via POS and e-commerce stores approximately doubled. It increased the demand for cashless payments and affected the demand for NI services in UAE. Being the largest merchant acquirer in the country, as well as the largest payment solutions company in the region, NI platforms offered the agility to build peerless customer experiences for merchants.
