30 free days, no lock-in and multi-currency pricing.
Multi-country platform

No app to install

The card is yours
A branded pass in the customer's wallet, next to their payment cards, rather than one card in a directory of businesses.
Setup and onboarding included
The branded card, the initial loyalty structure, the QR materials and staff onboarding are part of the annual plan.
Local team and UAE evidence
A Dubai-based team on WhatsApp, and two case studies with dashboard figures from UAE businesses.
