Libya’s banking sector is accelerating its shift toward digital payments, as financial institutions invest in modern infrastructure to expand access and improve service delivery.
Network International has entered into a strategic partnership with Al Seraj Islamic Bank (SIB) to support the bank’s digital transformation and contribute to the development of modern, secure and inclusive financial services in Libya.
The collaboration aligns with a core pillar of SIB’s growth strategy, as the bank seeks to expand its presence, increase market share and strengthen its position within Libya’s evolving banking landscape.
Modernising payments infrastructure
Under the agreement, Network International will provide end-to-end digital payment processing capabilities to Al Seraj Islamic Bank. The scope of the partnership includes Visa sponsorship, prepaid card issuing and a range of value-added services designed to enhance operational efficiency and customer experience.
These capabilities will enable SIB to modernise its payments infrastructure, improve service reliability and expand access to digital payment solutions across the country.
Enhancing customer experience and digital access
By leveraging Network International’s processing platform, Al Seraj Islamic Bank aims to introduce more secure, flexible and user-centric financial products. Customers are expected to benefit from faster transactions, improved digital engagement and broader access to electronic payment services.
The partnership also supports SIB’s efforts to streamline internal processes, enabling the bank to scale digital offerings while maintaining high standards of security and compliance.
Supporting financial inclusion in Libya
Beyond technology enablement, the collaboration plays a role in advancing financial inclusion in Libya. By expanding access to safe and reliable digital payment services, the initiative helps bring underserved communities into the formal financial system and encourages wider economic participation.
