noon.com, the region’s homegrown digital marketplace and Saudi e-tailer, has launched prepaid gift cards, powered by noon pay, giving shoppers across the UAE the perfect gifting option for their loved ones.

Powered by noon’s mobile payments app, noon pay, the gift cards can be used in a variety of ways, allowing customers to shop thousands of products on noon, pay utility bills, or even recharge their Salik account and mobile phone credit.

Available in a multiple of denominations from 25 AED to 1,000 AED, the gift cards, powered by noon pay, can be easily sent to recipients via message (WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger and more) or email.

Shoppers can purchase gift cards on the noon app by selecting ‘My Account’, tapping ‘Gift Cards’, and choosing the amount of their gift card before proceeding to checkout. The online gift cards are completely virtual, and are valid for one year from the date of purchase, giving customers plenty of time to browse their favourite items on the region’s homegrown digital marketplace.

Manish Baser, noon payments, said of the gift cards: "Our dedication towards building a more seamless checkout process through our innovative suite of products and secure digital payment gateway gives our valued customers the convenience they deserve. We’re proud to bring innovative fintech solutions to our customers, supporting all their payment needs in one place."

Once purchased, the Gift Card value will be added to the noon pay cashback balance available at noon checkout. This balance can also be used on SIVVI.com, and the noon pay mobile app.

Noon.com was created to serve the region, empowering and championing local businesses with innovation, technology, and support.
