ACI Worldwide announced that iNet, the first independent Saudi Central Bank-licensed Network Service Provider (NSP), has joined ACI's Retail Payment Solutions (RPS) for Postilion program to support the Kingdom's rapidly growing fintech sector. Under this partnership, iNet will deploy and manage a Point of Sale (POS) infrastructure using ACI Postilion, an acquiring platform that enables banks, fintechs and merchants to deliver fast and seamless omnichannel transaction processing while staying compliant with evolving regulatory standards. Earlier this year, iNet secured principal licenses to operate as an independent POS NSP, allowing it to deliver POS services directly to banks and merchants.
A customer of ACI since 2006, iNet will join ACI's RPS for Postilion program to broaden its market reach and service portfolio in support of this strategic leap. Today, iNet processes over 5 million transactions daily with plans to scale significantly in alignment with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 -- a strategic blueprint to boost the Kingdom's fintech sector by fostering a cashless society and building a future-ready digital financial ecosystem. The RPS for Postilion platform empowers iNet to drive payment innovation and deliver new services such as SoftPOS, QR payments, link-based payments and digital wallets.
Deployed across two PCI-compliant data centers in Saudi Arabia, its active-active infrastructure ensures high availability, minimizing service disruptions and operational risk. In support of the Kingdom's ambition to showcase cutting-edge innovation in digital infrastructure, iNet is well-positioned to be a strategic technology partner for major events like Saudi Arabia's FIFA World Cup 2034.
