Akshay Chopra, Director of the MENA Fintech Association, said, “I am proud to say that Gennius XYZ is pioneering advancements by making loyalty and reward programmes not only interoperable but profoundly portable.

Our initiatives ensure that the innovations in loyalty programmes provide tangible benefits, meeting the evolving needs of consumers and enhancing user engagement significantly.”

Al Gurg said, “A year ago, we facilitated the smooth entry of Gennius XYZ into Dubai and the larger MENA market, which marked the development of their then-project called ‘The World as One.’ Now here we are, finally witnessing it come to life — which encompasses their latest ‘Imagine as One’ digital platform — along with the inauguration of their Dubai hub. We are excited to see the emirate finally enjoy and utilise Gennius’ latest features.”
