Sandton, South Africa - Oct 22nd, 2024 - At Newland NPT, our enthusiasm extends beyond payments and advanced technologies—we're equally passionate about sports. We're not just leaders in point-of-sale (POS) technology, we thrive on connecting and collaborating through sporting events and unique experiences. That's why we're very thrilled to have sponsored and witnessed the success of the recent Battle of The Padel 2024, which took place on October 10th at Discovery Padel Park in Sandton, South Africa.

The popularity of the racket sport, padel, has been growing globally. Hosted by African Resonance, Newland NPT's South African partner, this exciting tournament brought together top players from major banks alongside fintech leaders. A total of 40 teams fiercely competed for the top spot, showcasing an extraordinary blend of skill and spirit of sportsmanship. Beyond the highlights on the court, we strengthened existing relationships and forged new connections with our partners off the court, reaffirming our commitment to strengthening ties within the fintech and banking community.

The Battle of the Padel is just one of many sporting events Newland NPT has participated in, as sports engagement has long been a tradition at our company, with sportsmanship deeply embedded in our culture. From running, badminton, and table tennis to basketball and soccer, our vibrant sports clubs offer regular activities and competitions. This lively atmosphere encourages everyone on our team, including many executives who excel in various sports, to maintain a healthy work-life balance.

As Newland NPT continues to lead in payment technology innovation and expand our global and localized services, we look forward to deepening connections and creating more exciting moments with our customers and partners.
