NETS
A Singapore domestic payment network, long-established and widely recognised locally, covering debit at the point of sale and QR payments. It is a separate scheme from the international card networks, so accepting it is a separate arrangement from accepting Visa, Mastercard or the wallets — a merchant can have any combination of them.
For Uniweb Pay specifically: NETS is not among the payment methods Uniweb Pay publishes as accepted. What Uniweb Pay accepts is listed on the payment methods index: the six card schemes, Apple Pay and Google Pay, Alipay+, WeChat Pay, UnionPay QR and Dynamic PayNow. If NETS acceptance is a requirement for your counter, that is a real reason to look at a provider that offers it.
Why it matters to a merchant
The question behind the word is usually "do my customers expect it", and in Singapore that answer differs sharply by trade and by customer base. It is worth answering honestly before choosing a provider, because it is one of the few acceptance questions where the right answer for a neighbourhood business and for a business serving visitors can be genuinely opposite.
