The i2c solution will provide users with access to digital account management, virtual cards, contactless payments, and loyalty programmes. The bank will also launch a smart, cloud-based point of sale (POS) acquiring programme for its business clients, enabled by i2c.

Aurangzaib Khan, general manager MEA region, i2c, believes initiatives such as this are part of a “digital-first revolution in the Middle East” and show the potential for innovations through fintech collaboration.
Silicon Valley-based i2c Inc was set up in 2001 and its platform supports a wide range of payments and digital banking solutions including credit, debit and prepaid cards, mobile and online banking, lines of credit, and installment loans. It has 1,000+ staff and, initially with a fairly North American-centric user base, it now has customers across the globe. In the Middle East, another user is First Abu Dhabi Bank.
