Mohammad El Saadi, VP of Careem Pay, commented: “Remittances are a lifeline for millions of families across our region. It’s essential that all expat communities have access to a simple and affordable way to send money back home, be it to support their families or for personal investments. Careem Pay’s purpose is to simplify financial services and improve financial inclusion across the region, and we’re thrilled to see our remittance services to India, Pakistan and the UK enable so many customers to send money abroad with ease. We’re excited to extend this critical service to another significant segment of the UAE population.”
New users who send money abroad through a referral link will receive AED 40 credited to their Careem Pay wallet.
Careem Pay hopes to simplify financial management for customers and business owners through a range of digital services, including bill payments and domestic and international transfers.
