We would like to introduce you to the next innovative part of the DPO Pay Africa journey. We’ve officially rebranded to Network International and are ready to provide African businesses of all sizes with even more opportunities to grow their business and prosper in the digital economy.
To reiterate, DPO Pay is no longer by Network; we are Network. The name DPO Pay now solely remains as an ecommerce and face-to-face payment solution offered by Network.
DPO Pay’s maturation under Network
Network International acquired DPO Pay in 2021 and is the leading enabler of digital commerce in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region. With over 30 years of experience in delivering innovative solutions that drive revenue and profitability for their customers, Network has grown from strength to strength to become the largest acquirer in the UAE.
When DPO Pay joined the Network family, we initiated a brand-strengthening exercise that involved aligning closely to Network International’s global product offering. This enabled us to explore more innovative ways we can solve the challenges African businesses face when it comes to payment processing that enables their businesses to grow from strength to strength.
In this latest stage of our development as Network, our collective vision is to strengthen our local offering by providing access to global expertise, resources and capabilities – ushering in a new era of unified payments innovation in Africa. This will enable our merchants to provide their customers with the fastest, most frictionless payment experience possible.
As Network we offer more innovation, more cutting-edge technology and a global standard of capabilities
DPO Pay becoming an ecommerce and face-to-face product of Network won’t impact our existing merchants’ payment processing services, or how they use DPO Pay to manage their businesses, in any way. We believe payments is a local business and will therefore continue offering a world-class localised service from our various offices in our 21 markets across Africa.
With the support of Network, we can now offer our merchants new and previously unimagined value-added payment solutions, services and capabilities. We’ve always been seen as a leader in the local payments space – now we have the increased speed, scale and strength to go even bigger.
What to expect from DPO Pay becoming an ecommerce solution of Network
We’re excited about our brand’s alignment with Network, and you should be too.
Here are some of the imminent changes to take note of:
.network.global email domain
As we’ve already communicated to our merchants, we’ve started updating our email domains from @dpogroup.com to @network.global. This forms part of our efforts to streamline our communication channels and present a unified identity as part of the Network family. Find about more about our email domain change here in our FAQs.
Transitioning look and feel
You’ll start noticing our updated DPO Pay as-a-Network-solution logo, which now includes the Network Chevron. Secondly, you’ll start seeing our colour scheme transitioning to be more aligned with Network, ie becoming more blue. This will be predominantly visible on our website, email communication, social media pages, DPO Pay Portal and payment pages. While we may be getting a new look, we assure you we have the same heart.
DPO Pay website domain
For now, our website domain will remain dpogroup.com. When this changes, we’ll communicate any updates to our merchants via our usual communication channels: email, notifications on the DPO Pay Portal and social posts.
Our increased capabilities as part of a large, global organisation and leading enabler of digital commerce in Africa and the Middle East means we can enable you, our merchants, to grow with us.
