Network International\u00a0announced that Careem joins its growing list of issuer processing clients.\u00a0The five-year agreement will see Network International process prepaid cards on behalf of Careem in five countries: United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Pakistan. The project is part of Careem\u2019s digital payments initiative enabling its captains to access their daily trip earnings in real-time via a Visa card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project brings several benefits to Careem, its customers and captains, in addition to supporting the drive towards a cashless economy in the five countries. Most significantly, it will enable Careem\u2019s captains to instantly access money they earn for both cash and non-cash transactions, instead of waiting days for the next payment cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Network International\u2019s collaboration with Careem comes at a pivotal time, as consumers increasingly shift to contactless payments, in the wake of safety guidelines and social distancing restrictions during the ongoing COVID-19<\/a> pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
