Building on their long-term relationship, Network International will be helping WEMA Bank increase its card issuing capacity as well as support its ATM processing capabilities in Africa.
The agreement underlines the two companies’ shared commitment to further the adoption of digital payments and support emerging markets’ transition to a cashless economy.
