UAE-based retailers recently enjoyed the newly opened drive-in cinema experience at the Mall of the Emirates rooftop, at an exclusive event for merchant clients of Network International, a leading enabler of digital commerce in the Middle East and Africa, supported by globally recognised bankcard scheme, UnionPay International (UPI).

 

The night-time screening of Hollywood film Jumanji: The Next Level, starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart and Karen Gillian, among other stars, was the first such event following the easing of lockdown restrictions in the UAE - a joint gesture of UPI and Network to extend their gratitude to local merchants for their long-time support.

 

UPI and Network International ensured the event adhered to social distancing best practices and standards, with a maximum of three people per vehicle and total car capacity limited to 62 vehicles.

 

For UPI and Network International, ensuring customer safety has been at the forefront of the 2020 development strategy in the Middle East. This has resulted in an enormous push for contactless and cashless payment, as well as increased ease and availability of online payment options. Through partnerships with local financial institutions, payment platforms and merchants, UPI and Network International are providing safe and convenient payment experiences to its cardholders in the region. - TradeArabia News Service
