To assist in curbing the spread of Covid-19, e-commerce giant Noon.com has moved the majority of its transactions in KSA to card-only.
Middle East e-commerce retail giant Noon has partnered with Visa to fully shift to cashless payments in the UAE to ensure the safety of its consumers through 100 per cent contactless payments amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
The platform, which has seen a surge in home deliveries in the UAE and its home of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as people spend more time at home, has also moved the majority of its transaction in the kingdom to card-only payments, and introduced a “Leave at my door” option at checkout.
“We are experiencing elevated levels of demand on the platform, as well as increased levels of concern from our customers regarding the safety of their online deliveries,” CEO Faraz Khalid said. “To alleviate this concern and to safeguard our delivery agents, we have shifted to a card-only payment model in the UAE. In Saudi Arabia, we have moved a vast majority of our catalog to card-only payment option as well. This partnership with Visa will support the drive towards safe and cashless ecommerce in the region, and we look forward to this deep-collaboration continuing in the future,” he added.
