Pointfinity — Merchant Loyalty Engine

Pointfinity is an enterprise-grade merchant loyalty and rewards engine built for the UAE market. We architected a high-throughput double-entry transaction ledger with sub-5ms write latency, offline QR code synchronisation for low-connectivity retail environments, UAE Pass biometric authentication for consumer onboarding, and full CBUAE Regulatory Sandbox compliance. The platform integrates Tap Payments for real-time point redemption, AML/CFT transaction screening, and a multi-tenant merchant dashboard. PCI-DSS Level 1 tokenised cardholder flows ensure zero raw card data ever touches the application layer.
