Collaboration between global payments technology provider and Middle East retail pioneer brings award-winning payment product and rewards to shoppers

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – October 10, 2022 – i2c Inc., a leading provider of digital payment and banking technology, today announced its partnership with Majid Al Futtaim, the leading shopping mall, communities, retail and leisure pioneer across the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and launch of a new payment solution – SHAREPay. This solution is part of Majid Al Futtaim’s SHARE rewards program, the region’s leading loyalty program, which enables its members to ‘Pay, Earn and Redeem’ points in just one tap.

SHAREPay was recently awarded the most innovative card of the year at the Seamless Awards 2022, the leading awards for the payments, fintech, retail and e-commerce industry. Powered by i2c’s next-gen SaaS platform, SHAREPay is the first of its kind digital wallet in the MENA region, which enables SHARE members to link up to 10 existing debit and credit cards to a single digital card, greatly increasing flexibility and purchasing power for the user. This digital wallet provides consumers instant earning and burning of SHARE points across the Majid Al Futtaim ecosystem. Customers can now pay via their linked card or use their SHARE points by simply tapping on any POS terminals across Majid Al Futtaim’s ecosystem.

“We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Majid Al Futtaim, as they push the boundaries on what the retail experience can and should be for today’s consumers,” said Amir Yazdanpanah, General Manager, CEMEA Region, of i2c Inc. “Our technology was designed to help visionaries like Majid Al Futtaim, go to market with differentiated products like SHAREPay, and to do so with unmatched reliability and flexibility.”
