  "summary": "UAE businesses can now accept payments across the Gulf through a single integration, according to a new regional payments service launched by Network International. The fintech company's \"one integration, multiple markets\" approach aims to simplify the process for merchants looking to expand across the GCC, removing the need for separate payment providers, technology integrations, and operational processes in each market. By providing a unified acquiring platform, Network International is addressing the fragmented payment infrastructure that has traditionally hindered regional expansion for businesses.",
