i2c expands Majid Al Futtaim partnership to launch SHAREPay Card and Mobile Wallet
i2c, a leading provider of digital payment and banking technology, has announced it has expanded 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.

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.
